Argento at his worst
|
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.
