Maciste In Hell - 1925 - 6/10
AKA - Maciste al Inferno

A demon kidnaps prime physical specimen Maciste and ferries him to Hell.
There, he contests with endless hordes of demons and wretched souls -
and - struggles with the temptations of barely clad demons of the female persuasion.
Oh, but a single kiss can be the undoing of the morally sturdy.
Very busy film. Loads of action. Guest characters include Lucifer and Satan!
Lavish production values. Costumes? Most of the underworld wears next to nothing – or nothing.
Save for Maciste, who seems to keep his business suit on most of the time.
Bodywise, Maciste takes after the old-fashioned circus strongman (think Rodrigo Quast) and not today’s steroid pumped fantasy figure.
