Imagine Benjamin Christensen (HAXAN) and F.W. Murnau (FAUST) mixed...
with the adventure hero genre and you got an idea of this surreal andvisually dazzling masterpiece. Fellini called it "one of the 10 best filmsever made" and convinced him as a kid to enter the film business.After saving a child from a Faust-like character big macho goodheartedMaciste goes to hell and fight hordes of vicious demonic creatures. It'spacked with violence, humor, nudity etc. Two scenes blew me away; at onepoint Maciste decapitates a demon but by some impressive reverse FX thecreature picks up his battered head and put it back on his shoulders, inhell there's a giant Godzilla-sized satan who eat humans like peanuts!?!Theset design is incredibly impressive, the use of color tinting is pureperfection, and the devil costumes are so detailed I've never seenanythinglike it. The Danish Film Institute had hired a classical piano player forthis ultra rare showing, and he knew what he was doin' to create thedifferent moods of this epic.One of greatest cinematic experiences I've ever had the pleasure ofwatchingin a theatre!Brignone's classic was just one of a dozen Maciste film made in Italy inthe1910s/20s, later Freda did a remake and Mario Bava was very inspired bythisfilm to make his "Hercules In The Haunted World"

Buon Natale, Maciste
"Our hero Maciste saves a young child from the grips of a demon anddecides to take the fight to the demon's home. Maciste travels to thedepths of Hell, in order to tack down the Devil, to stop the evil fromspreading across the Earth. Maciste struggles with many differentperils along his trip into Hell and appears to be defeated, if not foran act of kindness from a friend," according to the DVD sleeve'ssynopsis.Its Hellish netherworld scenes are the highlight of Guido Brignone's"Maciste all'inferno". The storyline doesn't seem to be very wellthought out, however. While some suffer, most of Hell's denizens seemto be having a grand time. Oddly placed, Bartolomeo Pagano (as Maciste)is an incredible success in Hell; he is especially popular with thewomen of the underworld, who enjoy his kisses. Still, Mr. Pagano wantsto return to his serene life on Earth. Who will show him the way? ***** Maciste all'inferno (10/19/25) Guido Brignone ~ BartolomeoPagano, Elena Sangro, Franz Sala

The best known movie out of the Maciste franchise.
Out of all the popular and long running Maciste franchise, this hasalways been the one that got the most attention and appreciation, evennow days.I have not seen most of the other old Maciste movies, because they arebasically impossible to get or view in any way now days, so I can'treally comment on how this movie fits within its long running series ofItalian shorts. Seems to me that every movie is different and does notonly pick a different story but also tone and environment. This timethe movie is really being like an horror, from the 1920's and has avery dark and moody atmosphere.It's a movie that really reminded me of a lot of other great horrormovies from its time. It mostly reminded me of the Germanexpressionistic "Faust", by F.W. Murnau. I'm not saying that it's arip-off in any way though and that's not even possible, consideringthat this movie got released actually one year earlier than "Faust". Itjust breaths the same sort of atmosphere and has even a bit of asimilar story and characters in it.The movie already started off wonderfully and I liked the story butthen the movie even becomes better, once Maciste enters the gates ofhell. The devil (or Pluto as he is called in this movie. It's anItalian movie after all) plays around with Maciste but he of course isnot a person to be fooled with and soon declares war on the devilhimself.It's a real visual movie. Especially the hell-world got wonderfullycreated, with large sets and impressive looking make-up and costumes.The movie also uses a lot of early effects for some of the movie itsevil magic, which is all good looking and impressive really.A real great and wonderful looking Maciste movie.9/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

MACISTE IN HELL (Guido Brignone, 1925) 12
Since I was going through some of the low-brow Italian peplums of the50s and 60s over the Easter period, I decided to watch this Silent epic(also made in Italy) simultaneously. However, it turned out to notreally be a peplum after all  despite the muscular title character(protagonist of a long-running series of films and, here, somewhatincongruously sporting modern attire  including a suit and tie!) andthe fact that the Italians had actually pioneered the religious epicgenre during the Silent era! That said, I guess I should have knownsince I had already watched Riccardo Freda's colorful but disappointing1962 semi-remake (actually set against a 17th Century Puritan backdrop)but, there at least, Maciste is still somehow fitted with thetraditional loincloth Anyway, to get to the movie itself: since I hadn't previously watchedany of the Silent Italian epics, I didn't quite know how well it wouldhave worn the passage of time but, surprisingly, I was left reasonablyimpressed by the visual splendor of the production which often evokedmedieval paintings  particularly in its hellish sequences. In fact, asI watched the film, I was most reminded  as had been another viewerwriting on the IMDb  of Benjamin Christensen's HAXAN (1922) and F.W.Murnau's FAUST (1926) which, I'm sure you'll agree, is high praiseindeed for a film of this kind! Besides, the human form taken by thedevil Barbariccia (literally "Curlybeard") and his minions evokesmemories of Scapinelli, the Mephistophelean figure of "The Student OfPrague" (a German folk-tale filmed twice, at least, during the Silentera) The plot of the film proper  Maciste is apparently a do-gooder whoseactivities are giving Hell a bad name, so a devil is sent to Earth inorder to tempt him; somehow, the former ends up in the underworld and,giving in to the affections of some devilish sirens, is himself turnedinto a hellish creature until saved by a child's prayer on ChristmasEve!  is quaint yet curiously effective, especially given the myriadunconvincing-looking demons Maciste has to face; at one point, there'seven a revolt (never fully explained, at least in the 66-minute print Iwatched) against Barbariccia's dominion in Hell  which is aninteresting way of saying that petty jealousies and machinations, thecause of so much evil on Earth, are present in the afterlife as well! I don't recall the 1962 film enough to make comparisons, except to saythat it was an unintentional laugh-riot, but also that the plot of thelater version is quite different  as it involves a reanimated witchwho had been burned at the stake (in fact, it was called THE WITCH'SCURSE in the U.S.); I know, however, that I enjoyed the 'original' agood deal and am certainly interested now in seeking out more Silentspectacles from Italy  L'INFERNO (1911), THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII(1913), CABIRIA (1914), etc.Â
