SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Inferno, try these.

Suspiria poster 01

Movie / 1977 / Horror / Thriller

Suspiria

Why this pick

Argento’s dream-logic predecessor shares Inferno’s saturated colour, occult architecture, elaborate murder set-pieces, and sense that an ancient evil is embedded in a place.

Tenebre poster 02

Movie / 1982 / Horror / Thriller

Tenebre

Why this pick

For Inferno’s formal visual bravura and mounting unease, this offers razor-clean modernist spaces, bravura camera movement, stylised violence, and a tightly coiled mystery.

The Church poster 03

Movie / 1989 / Horror

The Church

Why this pick

A Gothic, architecture-centred nightmare in which a building itself seems to conceal vast occult forces; it closely matches Inferno’s ornate, feverish supernatural atmosphere.

The Beyond poster 04

Movie / 1981 / Horror

The Beyond

Why this pick

Its crumbling hotel, esoteric lore, vivid colour and escalating oneiric horror make it an especially strong companion to Inferno’s irrational, hallucinatory descent.

Lisa and the Devil poster 05

Movie / 1973 / Fantasy / Horror / Science Fiction

Lisa and the Devil

Why this pick

Mario Bava turns a baroque mansion into a floating dream of death, using painterly colour, labyrinthine space and disorienting supernatural imagery akin to Inferno’s mood.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Rose Elliot (Irene Miracle), a poet living alone in New York City, finds an ancient book titled ''The Three Mothers''. The book, written by an alchemist named Varelli, tells of three evil sisters who rule the world with sorrow, tears, and darkness, and dwell inside separate homes that had been built for them by the alchemist. Mater Suspiriorum, the Mother of Sighs, lives in Freiburg. Mater Lachrymarum, the Mother of Tears, lives in Rome, and Mater Tenebrarum, the Mother of Darkness, lives in New York.
