Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sure, it doesn't have the nice fancy packaging, the postcards, poster, loads of special features etc (there still are good features, 3 interviews, one with Argento, 2 of which in HD, an intro by Argento, and the trailer) but why exactly do we buy a blu ray version of a film we really like?
That's right, the TRANSFER.
I must admit, I was surprised at how naturalistic the transfer was on this release, no DNR, or fake grain, it feels like Blue Underground (who I now prefer to stick to over Arrow, who seem to be concerned with practically everything but the transfer itself these days) have done a great job, they don't tamper with the transfers like Arrow do (The Beyond, anyone?), and the grain that is present, is natural, the colours are vibrant, it's nice and sharp, so if your a fan of Argento and this film in particular and want to see a PROPER 1080p upscale taken from the ORIGINAL print, then you need to buy this region free one.
I'm not hating on Arrow, they've done some fine releases, such as the Battle Royale boxset (perhaps the best blu ray I own own), and the transfer on Phenomena was excellent, Deep Red was 'ok', (but the blue underground transfer is leaps ahead), Dawn of the Dead was a terrific release (with a top notch transfer, 2 other discs of different cuts, including an Argento cut) and a heap load of features, but they seem to be getting somewhat 'inconsistent.'
It's also great that Amazon, at the time of purchase, were selling this product themselves rather than a second or third party importing it overseas that takes years to arrive (it arrived within a couple of days). Grab it when you can. I already own the Arrow version (which I'll just keep as a collectors novelty) but whenever I want to see this Argento classic, I'll always stick this one on instead.

Picture Perfect
7 Jun 2011
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
This Blu Ray edition of INFERNO is with no doubt the best ever on the market today. Gorgeous colors and accurate ones : it exactly reminded me the movie I had the chance to see in the theaters some years ago - which was not the case with the previous DVD. The sound is astonishing as well, giving Keith Emerson's music some grandeur (the final scene).
As for the film, for those who don't know yet the eerie world of INFERNO, just don't pay attention to the narration and logic, as there is few. INFERNO is a variation on fear, You just have to let yourself sweep away by the sounds, colors & flashes of macabre + violence in a very operatic way.

Wierd movie but interesting...
25 Jun 2011
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently watched this one for the very first time. I must say, it was over the top strange especially the soundtrack but not bad if you're looking for something out of the norm. Picture quality was excellent and soundtrack was really wierd but the film has great use of color and atmosphere. I didn't get a lot of it but it has some really great scenes. Based on all of that, I would give it a thumbs up because it has a lot to offer even though it moves slow at times.

Effective follow up to Suspieria
14 April 2011
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Had not seen Inferno in two decades and was pleasantly surprised by this effective BluRay edition put out by Blue Underground. The color schemes of the backgrounds and Argento's staging of the murderous set pieces are extremely effective. I sincerely hope Blue Underground will give the same fine treatment to both Suspiria and 4 Flies on Grey Velvet.
Truthfully, with Dario's films, you either really like them or loathe them. There seems to be no middle ground. LOL
Among the "extras" on this disc -- an interesting interview with present-day Leigh McCloskey whose recollections and comments on the filming are most interesting. I heartily recommend this release for all Argento fans.
If you're unfamiliar with the director's work, I'd think Deep Red or The Bird with the Crystal Plumage better introductions to his style and creativity. (My personal favorite is 4 Flies on Grey Velvet which most folk don't seem to take to as readily. Perhaps you had to be a "child of the '60's" to fall for Mimsy Farmer and the outlandishness of the denouement. ROF)
Anyway, Inferno is a visual treat with a most effective musical score. The present transfer is stunning.
