In this suspense thriller, a man with amnesia finds that the more he remembers, the more dangerous his life becomes. A man (Ray Liotta) stranded in a desert wasteland awakens with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Looking for shelter among the burning sands, the man finds the home of Vicky (Gloria Reuben), an artist. Vicky takes him in, and with her help, the man begins to reassemble the shards of his memory in an effort to reconstruct his past. He eventually remembers that his name is
Jack, and that he recently came into a large amount of money, which he can't find. However, it takes a while for Jack to realize that he was a gangster, and that several of his old business associates want to see him dead. Inferno was also released under the title Pilgrim, and features Armin Mueller-Stahl, Daniel Kash, and Lisa Owen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
This film is a fascinating and frustrating phantasmagoria of the mysterious and the unexplained, a strange journey into realms beyond human understanding, where events happen without rhyme or reason, and little or no explanation is given.
It's all in the details. Argento exaggerates the nuances nearly, but not quite, to the point of distraction. His exorbitant use of red and blue lighting gives Inferno its other-worldly, nightmarish appeal which seems to make the horror more visceral and effective.

Creepy and stylish but slightly lacking that Dario Argento flare. Gaillo is where his real strengths are and thankfully that's what he stuck to after this but Inferno does have some very memorable scenes - it's just a little bit dull in places.
