The themes of hell, Satan, and other demonic entities as a source of entertainment have always been met with controversy. "Maciste in Hell" certainly has had its share after having met its audiences with images of scantly clad women, devils, demons, and even what I believe to be one of the first decapitions to be portrayed on film. Aside from all the uproar however, this movie also excelled in its use of special effects. It featured animatronics, stop motion, and costume design. Out of all the movies that make one wonder as to how "they did it?", this film is at the top of my list. I definitely recommend watching it whether you like silent films or not. It's certainly worth a watch.
