    Argento probably realizes how inept a storyteller he is so he almost ditches the plot here in favor of what he does best, and as a result this is filled with even more hilarious dialogue, sexual innuendo, and absurd situations.

    I like this WAAAAY better than Suspiria and I dun care whats peoples gots to say bout dat!

    I'm not saying it's a better film (I'd have to rescreen both multiple times to determine that) but I prefer it, and is under-rated for not being as popular as Suspiria.

    As usual for Arge...( read more)nto productions, the sets and lighting are astonishing and beautiful. Unusual for Argento, this movie is quite plotted while also maintaining Argento's signature impressionist style. I found this story to be the most revealing of the "Three Mothers" trilogy. There is too much good to be said about this film. Favorite scenes: the submerged room in the cellar, following sounds through the elaborate pipe system, the library closing scene, the end sequence (which gives the film its name).

    I'm a huge Argento fan, so it's tough for me to say this...

    But aside from some great visuals and a interesting mythology (the Three Mothers)...this film falls flat.

    The plot is a mess as is most of the writing and (dare I say it?) direction.

    The heart was there, but unf...( read more)ortunately it was not strong enough to bring this corpse of a film fully to life.

    If you are a fan of his work, you will probably see this film regardless of any review (as I did) and I "get" that. Everyone else should probably avoid it.

    I never cared much for narratives or coherent stories... this is movie displays continuous series of utterly beautiful snapshots of fire, blue neons and bleeding corpses. And I like it.

    A great sequel to a great movie, Inferno is as suspenseful, twisted and stylish as its predecessor. Also equipped with a strong, intriguing story, Inferno, like Suspiria, is a definite must-see for horror fans.

    While it's nowhere near as fun or as well made as Suspiria, it's not a bad sequel. There's a lot to like: Flesh-Eating rats, cat drownings, a Guillotine death and one of the creepiest underwater scenes. I liked the idea of the story being dispersed through many characters instead...( read more) of just one because the deaths are more shocking that way. It travels a lot farther into the bizarre than it's predecessor, which can seem wonky at times. Overall, it's an enjoyable film and has more exploration into the three sisters.

    I was looking forward to seeing this for ages, but was actually a bit disappointed. It's quite messy but has it's moments.

    Part 2 of the 3 part saga. It's getting grosser. hehe

    I thought this was better than "Suspiria", although I am not a big fan of Argento. It explains a lot more of what is supposedly going, though you were left completely clueless in the first of this epic trilogy (Suspiria, Inferno, Mother of Tears). This second part was released 3 ...( read more)years after the first, but the final installment came 27 years after. Guess you can't rush genius.
