The second in Argento's "The Three Mothers" series, Inferno tried too hard to be like its previous entry, Suspiria, and fails. While it's still a decent flick, a lot of it is very confusing and hard to follow, and unlike Suspiria which uses style to move the plot forward, it seems like a lot of Inferno's visual style is just... there. It holds no real relevance to the plot, nor does it advance it
That said, the visuals in Inferno were great, as was the music. From my understanding, a band named Goblin did all the music for the film.
This is not really a sequel to Suspiria, just in the same "world." The plot is that three witches, or "Mothers", who each personify the word "sorrow", invade three cities. Inferno takes place in New York.
The acting was, to be blunt, bad. It made the film seem cheesy and overdone, which obviously didn't add to it whatsoever.
The death scenes were pretty okay. To be honest, I can't even remember a lot of them and I watched it only two days ago...
I do have to say, however, that Ania Pieroni is gorgeous. She's the music student you see staring at Mark near the beginning of the film. Wow.
