Midnight (1982)

A glorified travelogue from director John Russo. He may have written Romero's Night of the Living Dead but you can tell from this evidence he sure as shit didn't direct it.

I previously saw this ten years ago when Arrow released it on dvd with a booklet, reversible sleeve, poster etc but you know the old saying. You can't polish a turd. And this is a real stinker.

L'inferno (Dante's Inferno). 1911.

Poet Dante is lost in the woods and finds a light at a mountain and is lead through a portal, Virgil rescues Dante and shows him the portals of hell.

I have always been fascinated on the story of Dante and the portals of hell and even though this is just over a hour long the depiction is truly amazing with the cinematography and a background score that was re-mastered by Tangerine Dream that depicts the realms of going to hell and then finding paradise. It's amazing how silent movies from this era are still regarded as a great piece in cinema that still entertains.
