1980/81

L’altro Inferno

AKA …

English The Other Hell

Cymraeg L'altro Inferno

français L'Autre Enfer

русский Другой ад

Release date

22 January 1981 (Italy)

Registi: Bruno Mattei, Claudio Fragasso

Music by Goblin

The film passed Italian censors on July 23, 1980.

The Other Hell was distributed in Italy on 22 January 1981.

Mattei spoke about being influenced by what he described as "Argento's concepts" on the film but that the film was not "an absolute copy of Inferno".

According to Rome's Public Cinematographic Register, filming began on October 23, 1979, and continued through October and November when very little about Argento's film was known except its title and some stills from the set.

It was given a belated limited theatrical run in the United States as Guardian of Hell by Film Concept Group on 13 September 1985.

The film has been released on home video by Vestron Home Video as The Other Hell with an 88-minute running time

Best Worst Movie (2009)

I love a lot about this documentary, but it misses the mark in many ways. Most notably the film leans on these re-enactments of the scenes from the film which I felt distracting and felt like padding.

The film seems to have an empathetic disconnect with the subjects it is capturing. At one moment it praises Troll 2 and in another moment the film is openly mocking the filmmakers.

My heart breaks watching Claudio Fragasso sitting in that screening and being frustrated with the audience's reaction. You can tell he felt mislead a bit, like he finally thought he was getting noticed for his filmmaking only to be bombarded by people laughing at his hard work and mocking his abilities. Sometimes right in front of him!

There is something to be said about the lack of empathy that most viewers have when watching a film. Even fans of these kinds of films will call them trash or so bad they're good, etc. But I posit that if someone derives entertainment from a movie, no matter the reason, then that movie is actually good. And I am certainly not the first person to bring this up, I won't be the last.

The director of Best Worst Movie also did a movie called American Scream which is about a town where multiple people set up haunted houses on their properties every Halloween. It's real good and you should see it.

Recently Viewed: Hell of the Living Dead

Well, I suppose I have nobody to blame but myself. I knew what I was getting into when I decided to watch Hell of the Living Dead. After all, director Bruno Mattei (the man of a thousand aliases; this particular production, for example, credits him as “Vincent Dawn”) wasn’t exactly known as a purveyor of prestige cinema. Nor, for that matter, was his screenwriter, Claudio Fragasso (responsible for such “gems” as Troll 2). Naturally, I went in expecting a typical Italian zombie flick: sleazy, gory, and unapologetically schlocky.

I was not, however, remotely prepared to be bombarded with images of actual human corpses. In an apparent effort to minimize the budget, the film incorporates elements of the mondo genre—a sensationalistic style of “documentary” (and I use that term charitably) that explores “exotic” foreign cultures, with an emphasis on shocking violence and sexual taboos. Thus, "repurposed" stock footage depicting authentic tribal funeral ceremonies, political unrest in third world countries, and the ritualistic slaughter of animals is awkwardly spliced into the action, giving the impression that our protagonists have inadvertently wandered into a National Geographic television special.

This grotesque exploitation masquerading as “social commentary” (despite seemingly sympathizing with victims of colonialism and imperialism, Mattei nevertheless portrays them as primitive savages) might have been somewhat forgivable if the rest of the movie was otherwise entertaining; unfortunately, it’s just a miserable slog. I’m not averse to cynicism and moral ambiguity on principle, but in this specific case, the irredeemably despicable characters and utterly nihilistic themes are simply off-putting and unappealing. Even the soundtrack, allegedly composed by the usually dependable prog rock group Goblin—in reality, the score was cannibalized from various sources (much like the visuals), which explains why the music resembles the final gasp of a dying synthesizer—is flaccid, inert, and uninspired. Hell of the Living Dead is a thoroughly unenjoyable experience, and I regret watching it; what an insufferable waste of time!
