Dario Argento's Inferno is a good companion piece to Suspira. Striking visuals with the use of vivid colours. It does fallback to slasher horror motifs and has a narrative that makes no sense.
In New York a young woman, Rose Elliot (Irene Miracle) is intrigued by a mysterious book called 'The Three Mothers.' It is about three evil sisters who are also mothers and who built spooky houses in New York, Rome and Freiburg.
Rose thinks her apartment in New York is one of the building's and she searches for a mysterious hidden key. However she senses danger and writes a letter to her brother Mark Elliot (Leigh McCloskey) who is a music student in Rome.
Mark arrives in New York but cannot find his sister who has been killed. His search leads him to a hidden passageway in the apartment building, a meeting with a mysterious man in a wheelchair and the true face of one of the sister's.
Inferno is a stylish, surreal supernatural thriller. It had some impressive art direction and sets. The acting is a letdown, some of the performers seem to be acting blank, maybe it is because they realise the story is incoherent.
There is some misogyny in Inferno, women in peril and being slaughtered. Argento adds that with a man being attacked by cats, a man being eaten by rats before a cook turns up from nowhere with a knife and starts slashing.
