While not nearly as good as its predecessor, it still has its strengths. While it lacks much of a coherent story, it makes up for in beautiful imagery. I did not like it the first time seeing it, but after seeing it a second time, I saw that it can be entertaining.
is it honestly that good? i haven't watched it, but it looks cheaply made and im not sure that it would be scary at all, a friend of mine said it was the scariest thing he ever saw.... it doesn't look to bad to me. i More into todays horror/slasher flix i like the effects and the sound/picture qaulity better. yes the plots could be more creative and such but i just cant stand watching a grainy picture with horrible make up fx
@serenityzr19 It's not for everyone. The first time I saw it, I was bored to tears but it grew on me.
It's not that scary but there definitely is a very nightmarish quality (thanks to the beautiful imagery) to it that can't really be found in today's horror films. It also has some very interesting optical effects thanks to Mario Bava and the picture quality is not that grainy if you watch it on DVD or better yet, on Blu-ray.
Now, now everyone. I too am from the "old school" 80's days of Horror and I love Argento's work just about as much as anybody else. But to bash films like Hostel and Saw is pointless because it's a totally different generation of film makers.
Besides, Horror is actually pretty good these days! Remember the late 90's with SCREAM and all the other weak "surprise ending" clones that followed!?! Those films were truly awful and Horror didn't pick itself up again until the 2000's.
It's not as good as Suspiria, but it's still a very frightening and well-made nightmare film. Dario Argento seems to be a love-him-or-hate-him kind of director. If you don't "get" Argento, you'll probably not like this it all. If you do like him, you'll see much of the director's signature style here.
@bumblebert It makes perfect sense if you realize the film is supposed to follow dream logic and not film logic. Weird things that happen are because it's supposed to follow the flow and style of a nightmare on film. The movie said one of the keys was the evil aura about the house, so we could assume that evil has an affect on reality, making nightmares come to life sort of.

I like how they showed pretty much everything in the trailer. Still..... a beautiful film, and oddly I prefer it to Susperia.

One of my favorite horror movies! This trailer doesn't do the movie justice.

They showed most of the best bits and nearly gave the plot away! And I LOVE Inferno!

Makes no sense but is gorgeous to look at. And the cats in the bag scene is horrible and totally unexpected.
