Arrow Video - Inferno - The Archive

[DeadAlive]

I do have a few holes in My Argento collection. I'm holding back on Suspiria on Blu (Coz I haven't got the player yet.) and Inferno is another that I haven't upgraded from VHS yet. I'll be getting it anyway from Arrow, but uncut would be the cherry on top.

How the hell did I miss this news? The Arrow Argento collection is coming along nicely........Luvly jubbly.

Yes it's a very close call though I need to re watch the uncut version again as I haven't seen it for a while. I seem to remember the cat cruelty looking faked. Has Argento ever spoken about this sequence? The way the cat was being carried looked more cruel. There have been some recent examples of animal cruelty cuts being waived eg Bad Boy Bubby, The Silent Flute, Extreme Prejudice, The Antichrist etc but these films all contain just a single previously cut sequence, in Inferno there are 2.

It will be interesting to see what happens. I genuinely liked this film.

Inferno is one of my favourite Argento's so this is great news indeed!

Blimey. Didn't expect this at all. Great film.

*searches the internet for any news of a release of Profondo Rosso* .........

Profondo could definitely do with a better UK release (my 2nd favourite Argento after Suspiria). The English (shorter) print on the Platinum 2-on-1 is uncut though released without BBFC approval. The longer (and better IMO) Italian print is the cut one. The cut in the latter is extremely badly edited.

I've never seen the shorter print but you're right,the film deserves a better release than the one on the shelves of Poundland.

Yeah I have that release Vince and couldn't agree more; the editing is pretty atrocious.
