Inferno all the way! Love it.

Inferno is a true classic, always climbing further and further up my Argento-favorites-list.

Phenomena is parts brilliant, parts much too long and slow-paced. I almost voted for it on account of such a strange film being made at all, but in the end Inferno takes the cake.

Inferno is my favorite Argento film so what the fuck do you think?!

welb25 · 09-12-2006, 04:40 PM

yeah, have to go with Inferno here.

Katatonia · 09-12-2006, 05:03 PM

Phenomena was quite possibly the first Argento I ever saw. I was probably about 11 or something at the time. So it rightly holds a nostalgia spot for me.

But, I'll have to side with Inferno as the more solid film.

Why do that when you can buy it on DVD?

Inferno, but no-one is going to be surprised about that

I love both, but I have to go with Inferno because it has a better score and those awesome Suspiria colors.

I'm choosing Inferno, but I do like Phenomena.... the monkey knocks it down a notch though!

satans-sadists · 09-12-2006, 08:31 PM

Tough call, but I chose Inferno. Love the Mario Bava f/x near the end. The underwater scene is phenomenal too. 70's and 80's Argento movies are some of my absolute favorites, most of all: Suspiria!
