I liked Inferno, although I was expecting utter trash. I was surprised at how beautiful and aesthetic the film was, possibly even moreso than Suspiria, although it is certainly inferior. I am glad I wasn't expecting a sequel because it was more a continuation and expansion of ideas developed in Suspiria rather than a true follow-up. So yeah, I like Inferno. I like the colors, the ladies *WHOA!*, the atmosphere, all the crazy surreal deaths, the music (though not as incredible as Suspiria's soundtrack). It was quite an experience, certainly in Argento's top 10.
Here's my list so far...
1. Suspiria - A horrific and surreal audio-visual masterpiece
2. Deep Red - A stylish murder mystery with an incredible denouement
3. Phenomena - A beautiful fairy tale with an incredibly exciting climax
4. Tenebre - A thrilling giallo full of wonderful murders
5. The Bird With The Crystal Plumage - A Hitchcockian mystery with a great twist
6. Opera - A super-stylish sadomasochistic slasher-giallo
7. Inferno - A beautiful nightmare
And you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!
