Goofs:
Factual errors: The depiction of the lunar eclipse is scientifically wrong. It is very similar to a solar eclipse, in which the moon would move between sun and earth. During a real lunar eclipse the moon moves into the shadow of the earth and its color turns into deep red. This takes usually hours.

Okay, here's the deal: If you need a coherent movie with an algebraic plot, skip this one. If you are interested in Dario Argento but haven't seen any of his films, start with something else. If you are a fan of Dario Argento, do yourself a favor and buy this one. Inferno is weird, makes no sense, but is a gorgeous horror film. I loved it.
