Description:
The Master Of Horror Dario Argento Brings You Terror That's Hotter Than Hell!
A young woman stumbles upon a mysterious diary that reveals the secrets of 'The Three Mothers' and unleashes a nightmare world of demonic evil. As the unstoppable horror spreads from Rome to New York City, this unholy trinity must be stopped before the world is submerged in the blood of the innocent.
Written and directed by Dario Argento, INFERNO is considered to be the sequel to his classic SUSPIRIA. This surreal shocker stars Irene Miracle (NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS), Daria Nicolodi (DEEP RED) and Leigh McCloskey (DALLAS), and features a pulse-pounding original score by Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Now transferred from the original vault negative materials, INFERNO contains visually stunning sequences of horror that Argento fans consider among the best of his career.
Amazon.com:
Dario Argento's sequel to Suspiria, his first and to date only American hit, is an even more incoherent nightmare fantasy. Laden with symbolic imagery and fantastic explosions of death shot in candy-colored hues, it's a bloody feast for the eyes. Mark (Leigh McCloskey), an American music student in Rome, rushes home to New York after a frantic phone call from his sister only to find an empty apartment and obscure clues about a supernatural presence in her spooky building. It all has something to do with the mysterious Mater Tenebrarum, one of the 'Three Mothers' of Argento's murky mythology, and the fun house of an apartment house she inhabits, complete with a fully furnished underwater ballroom, miles of secret tunnels flooded in red and blue light, and hidden passageways under the floorboards. Meanwhile, there's a killer running around stabbing beautiful women for who knows what reason, a crippled bookseller attacked by rats, and a homicidal hot-dog vendor in Central Park. Why? It's best not to ponder such mysteries--Argento obviously isn't as concerned with making sense of his meticulously staged murders as he is with lighting them with just the right hue. Dramatically it's inert, a parade of quirky but faceless victims dispatched with elaborate care, but it's beautifully designed and executed, a spectacle of elaborate set pieces and magnificent decor orchestrated with a complete disdain for narrative logic. --Sean Axmaker

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not for Argento newbies
At its essence, Inferno tells a classic horror movie tale about a haunted house. It's a bit odd, bombards the viewer with random, twisted imagery when least expected, attacks the senses with a kaleidoscope of colors, and overpowers the eardrums with pounding piano accompaniment.
Beginning in what feels like a movie half-finished, a woman is reading a book about Three Mothers (Tenebrarum, Suspiriorum, and Lachrymarum). Written by an architect/alchemist named Varelli, it tells of these ... Read More
Rating:  - The stuff of nightmares.
Inferno is probably one of my favorite Dario Argento film and is one of the best films in the three mothers trilogy, the film has an intriguing and frightening story and great atmosphere but there are many flaws in the script and the acting wasn't particularly that good, but then again who watches a Dario Argento flick for the acting?. The film was beautifully shot and had a nice gothic atmosphere that almost seems like a living nightmare and there are some nicely made setpieces which were very memorable, ... Read More
Rating: - Beautifully shot but poorly scripted
Beautifully shot but poorly scripted second installment in Dario's tale of the three sisters with Goblinesque soundtrack by Keith Emerson.A journey into a surreal Hitchcockian, dreamscape of labyrinthian architecture, corridors, rooms, cellars, staircases, secret passages, dungeons, submerged rooms and alchemical mysteries, all flavoured with Dario's atypical gruesome murder scenes.
Rating: - "Inferno" Is A Roller Coaster Ride Through Hell - The Nightmarish Sequel To "Suspiria"
Like millions of other Dario Argento fans, I am eagerly awaiting the American release of "The Mother of Tears." In the meantime, I decided to review the first two films in the Three Mothers Trilogy. The first film, "Suspiria," was based on Mater Suspiriorum, the Mother of Sighs. The second film, "Inferno," is based on Mater Tenebrarum, the Mother of Shadows.
In the prologue of "Inferno," viewers are introduced to the novel The Three Mothers. However, they soon learn that it is not ... Read More
Rating: - A visual work of art plus incredible music score.
A woman stumbles on a diary written by an alchemist telling a tale about The Three Mothers. They happen to be three evil witches with incredible power. She unknowingly unleashes their evil.
First of all, I will go through this review without making any comparisons to Suspiria. Simply because that can effect my overall judgment of this film. Dario Argento is without a doubt a very good director with a vision. There are very few films that I can think of with an atmosphere so imaginative yet so ... Read More
