Inferno

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.

A poet living in an old building in New York is reading through an old book sold to her by the friendly neighborhood antique dealer. The books just by happenstance mentions the very building she resides in, and mentions it in connection with very ominous circumstances. Imagine? Well, the girls wastes no time in penning a letter to her brother in Rome, to inform him of this amazing chance. Remarkably, the book also mentions a similiar building that is in Rome! The multi-layered connections of INFERNO had me wondering just what this woman had stumbled inot before the first blood spatters hit the wall. And hit the wall they did. And the ceiling. With a tell tale trail of droplets or two, as well. It seems that the book is excerpts from a diary written by the architect of the residences, (of which there is a third building which does not enter into our story) And the architect seems to have met with a questionable death. Now the brother seems to hae left the letter his sister wrote in lecture hall, where it was picked up by his desk mate, who of course read it. Intrigued by the contents she directs her cabbie to take her to the Roman location, which turns out to be a library. She finds the book in question in the stacks, adn wanders the grounds of the strange library, finding an odd room full of bubbling cauldrons of some unspeakable substance. These are tended by a man who, upon seeing the book cluthced in her hands freaks out and asaults her for possession of it. The girl escapes and returns home, placing a call to the brother, saying "come quickly, i have news of your sisters letter". Or some such. Of course, our music student hero rushes right over, only to discover that the girl is already dead. He quickly books a flight to New York to go to the aid of his sister. Madness ensues. As you can expect from Dario Argento, this stroy revolves around a supernatural presence, which co-exists with mankind. and evolves as we gain clue after clue until the presence finally announces itself in a blaze of flames. There is one scene I really enjoyed and I have dubbed it "When Cats Attack" that involves a pack of cats, yep, attacking en masse. Classic old school horror from the acknowedged master of the craft.
