File under the movies least necessary for a remake is the new version of Dario Argento's horror masterpiece, SUSPIRIA. I will watch it with the mindset that it is not connected with the original at all and try to view it on its own merit. Could be good, but as a remake, this will never touch the original. The combination of Argento as the director and Jessica Harper, who I immediately had a crush on after seeing her in PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, is a bar that raise high enough to ward off all comers.
