Conjuring the Inferno, aka Flesh for the Inferno (2015)
By William Pattison
A local community group volunteers to prepare a dilapidated
Catholic school for a make-over, unbeknownst to them that a sulphurous curse
stemming from the unjust and grievous punishment of a pious group of Sisters
has condemned the place.
Well, I thought this was going to be a throwback to such
classics as Gates of Hell, The Church, and The Beyond. Though it was obvious
the filmmakers were inspired by those films this film is mired by the lack of
characterization and character development that a lot of lower tier horror
films suffer from. Though there are a couple of scenes that mirror these great
Italion classics it suffers from the modern Hollywood lack of style and respect
for the material.
This film rather than embracing the type of film it wanted
to present instead made it cheap and common.
If you like a few gore scenes and flat characters this is
your film. As for me as a cultured horror aficionado I cannot recommend this
film. Honestly, I’ll forget it after fifteen minutes…ok gone…Yeah… What was I talking
about???
