Inferno Details

Burn baby burn!

'Inferno' must surely be Argento's most creative, intense and interesting film. It follows 'Susperia' very well, further refining the ideas Argento first created in that masterpiece and using them to build a brand new one. This is an amazingly artistic film, revelling in beautiful colours and flashy shots that remain this director's key trademark.

Storywise, we find ourselves developing a better idea of the Three Mothers; a story that Argento will soon conclude with the final film in the trilogy after years of speculation. 'Inferno' offers welcome progression to the story, but I still prefer 'Susperia' to this one, simply because that particular film had a raw edge that's missing here.

Nevertheless, 'Inferno' is still one of the biggest gems in Argento's illustrious career and should be part of a solid selection of horror films that you simply MUST see.
