Loosely adapted from the first canticle of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, L'Inferno took the world by storm upon its release in 1911. Widely acknowledged as both a landmark advancement in narrative cinema and a predecessor to the modern effects-driven blockbuster, the production took three years to complete and cost a then-unprecedented 100,000 lire. Demons, harpies, specters and other beasts are brought to life to prey upon wicked souls in this delightfully macabre classic.
