Inferno (1980)
After Suspiria, the second film in Argento’s loosely connected “Three Mothers” trilogy—sadly, 2007’s Mother of Tears is for completists only—explores another witchy tale, this one set in and around an imposing apartment tower in New York City. Searching for his missing sister, an Italian music student retraces her steps only to discover cats, rats, creepy books, neighbors both friendly (including Nicolodi) and decidedly not, and a web of dark and witchy secrets that wrap around the building’s very foundations.
