Movie Reviews of Inferno
Movie Review: It is no Suspiria
Summary: 3 Stars
It has some nice moments (sometimes interesting sometimes baffling) but overall is too disjointed. The deaths are not staged very well - strange considering that those are Argento's forte. The soundtrack...well maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time. Should be seen, but probably will not be viewed repeatedly.Movie Review: I don't get it....
Summary: 2 Stars
Before you guys come out of the woodwork and start yelling at me about how great Argento is, I love his work. And this piece, I just do not get. Suspiria was a great movie, I was ready to turn this one off after 30 minutes. My DVD cut out before the last 15 minutes, and I didn't care. It's a much more artistic piece, yes, but I don't even understand Argento's imagery. The acting was worse than godawful, not that Argento's films are known for that, but this was really bad. I didn't really care a thing about the three mothers, there was no suspense, I do not understand all the great ratings this film got. Maybe i'm missing something...Movie Review: Disappointing followup to horror classic "Suspiria"
Summary: 2 Stars
Apart from one knockout horror sequence (with the heroine swimming in an underwater chamber) this movie never really catches fire. The performances are very poor, in marked contrast to Suspiria. The music is also strangely sedate for a horror film, also in contrast to Suspiria. The look of the film partly makes for the lack of real horror, but only in certain spots. Overall a disappointment.Movie Review: total nonsense
Summary: 2 Stars
total non-sense. my least favorite of the three mothers triolgy because it really makes no sense at all. there is no main character and just one weird situation after the next. visually its great and it has the classic Argento sensibility, but its in no way a rewarding film.Movie Review: Argento at his worst
Summary: 1 Stars
After making his two masterpieces, "Deep Red" and "Suspiria", it seemed inevitable that Dario Argento's next film would disappoint. However, "Inferno" is not just disappointing, it is downright bad.
The second film in the "Three Mothers" trilogy (the first being "Suspiria" and the third being the recently released "The Mother of Tears") is about a young woman who thinks that her New York apartment building happens to house one of three witches, the Mother of Darkness. That's it. The plot really doesn't progress much beyond that. I'd like to say that much investigation and suspense follows, but it doesn't. Sure there's a string of gory murders and the young woman's brother shows up in New York, but these scenes are all rather random and don't really form a coherent storyline.
As with all Dario Argento films, the acting is atrocious. However, because "Inferno" lacks the coherance of "Deep Red" and the stylish beauty of "Suspiria", this is all the more apparent. At times I felt like I was watching a bad t.v. movie, not a film by one of the greatest horror directors of all time. Apparently, 20th Century Fox shelved this film for five years, before releasing it straight-to-video. I'm not surprised. This is, by far, the worst of all of the Dario Argento films that I have seen to date.
