Product Overview

Inferno (1911), directed by Italian filmmakers Francesco Bertolini, Adolfo Padovan, and Giuseppe de Liguoro—contemporaries of early cinema pioneers like Méliès and Segundo de Chomón—is one of the earliest feature-length films ever produced, and among the first horror films to reach the big screen.

Filmed over three years (1908–1911), this groundbreaking adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy follows Dante (Salvatore Papa) as he journeys through the Nine Circles of Hell—an allegorical descent into humanity’s sins. The film remains a landmark achievement in early cinema, showcasing ambitious special effects and visual storytelling far ahead of its time.

Terror Vision presents a brand-new 4K restoration sourced from surviving elements of this over 100-year-old classic. This release highlights the film’s historical importance while offering modern enhancements for today’s audience.

Included are multiple viewing versions, along with newly commissioned scores and a fresh commentary track.
