More witches from Argento

Inferno (1980)

Directed by Dario Argento this film stars Irene Miracle, Leigh McCloskey, Eleonora Giorgi and Daria Nicolodi. A poet living in New York thinks she has found something evil living in her building and sends a letter to her music student brother in Rome.

Some will say that the plot is such that you never know what is coming next but to me this film came across as switching between protagonists so much it seemed to be just a collection of killings rather than a story. In general the story lacks much depth and as a follow up to Suspiria (1977) leaves something to be desired. There is one good sequence right at the start but otherwise the rest of the film fails to show Argento's directorial flair much.


3/5
