DVD Reviews of Inferno
DVD Review: The stuff of nightmares.
Summary: 5 Stars
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, my favorite would have to be the part where Irene Miracle's character is swimming in an underground room filled with water. I'm not going to compare all three films since each one was different, this one was somewhat similar to Susperia but had a couple of difference mainly because of the location and the third film which was the weakest but still watchable was completely different and more modern.
The whole film was visually stunning where the use of color is more prominent with mostly blue, red, and orange hues just like in Susperia and there is some great use of lighting by Argento. Anyway the film is all about witches, ancient alchemy and death and is Dario Argento's follow up to the classic Suspiria which continues the plotline of the Three Mothers, three witches that reside in their own respective gothic buildings specifically designed and built for them. A young woman (Irene Miracle) renting out a room in a multiple-story Gothic mansion in New York City (also head quarters to the witches) becomes obsessed with a book on the sisters and ends up meeting a gruesome demise for her meddling. Her brother (Leigh McCloskey) receives a distressed letter and returns from musicology studies in Rome to investigate, he then encounters a series of grisly murders and coming face to face with the spirit of death itself!.
Inferno is often misunderstood by Argento fans who either complain about the bad acting or think it's confusing but in my honest opinion I thought it was a very satisfying and suitable follow up to Suspiria and was quite entertaining too. There are a few things to note while watching Inferno and that is Mario Bava's influence on the film which is obviously more prominent than is actually recognised and the awesome musical score done by Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, the music was just absolutely wonderful and set the right mood for the film which was dark and creepy. The death scenes and gore were pretty good but I would say that they were tame compared to Dario's other films, in one particular scene which I thought was a bit hilarious and absurd has a guy who's trying to drown a bunch of cats in a bag near by the lake then all of a sudden stumbles and falls in the lake only to by butchered by a maniac hot dog vendor and then eaten by a bunch of rats, this scene in particular did not make any sense but was pretty cool to watch. I have the old Anchor Bay edition and the disc is simply gorgeous with a great widescreen print that has never looked better and the dolby surround audio sounded fantastic on my system (Keith Emerson's soundtrack rocks and is very clear!).
The extras however are minimal but definitely worth it and contains a short but fascinating background documentary/interview segment (that really should be longer) and the usual trailer, bios etc. while not as packaged as the Deep Red disc it's still a must have for any self respecting fan of Dario's work, Inferno was a fantastic horror film that has tons of style, some good and gruesome death scenes and dark atmosphere that will please all you fans of Argento's work, but if you're new to Argento's work make sure you see Suspiria before viewing this sequel or you may just get a bit confused.
