Mother of Tears (2007)
High level violence, blood and gore
| Director: | Dario Argento |
| Actors: | Asia Argento, Udo Kier, Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni, Adam James |
MOTHER OF TEARS is the finale to the saga that began with the international blockbuster SUSPIRIA and continued with the classic INFERNO from Italian horror maestro Dario Argento. Italian horror maestro Dario Argento redefines the horror genre once again with his visionary epic Mother Of Tears, starring his real life daughter Asia Argento (xXx, Land Of The Dead & last Days).In the heart of modern Rome, an ancient urn is discovered and brought to a young archaeologist Sarah Mandy for study. Unknown to Sarah, the urn is an artefact belonging to the demonic Mother of Tears, the world's most powerful witch. Ignorant of the urn's true purpose Sarah mistakenly unleashes a demonic power intent on destroying the city and everything in its path, beginning with the brutal slaying of her co workers. Narrowly escaping the same fate, Sarah takes refuge with an old priest who reveals Sarah' dark legacy - that her fate was sealed years before when her own mother was slaughtered by the Mother of Tears...and that only she has the power to find and stop the witch before its to late..

Mildly entertaining at best but contradicts the 1st 2 films, the recast actor for the witch looks Nothing like Anna's version in Inferno, the whole urn idea is cool but why this raise her nonsense when she was clearly around in Inferno? The graphic violence and gore is amusing at best but if the storyline was as strong they would have had a winner on their hands and not fans like myself screaming for a remake. Some really cheesey CGI almost makes this a comedy. Average at best but def not remotely as decent as Suspria or Inferno.

as much as I wanted to like this film, everything terrible I'd heard about it was true. If ever a film can prove how far a director has fallen from their so-called golden period, it's when they make a the "final" part to a long unfinished trilogy - where the first two, Suspiria

As a fan of the old Dario Argento's work, I can't believe what I have just seen. Argento is now an "Has been" because this flick is extremely bad. The acting is terrible, the dialogues are out of this world, the visual fx are heaps poor looking amateurish and the Gory FX are simply laughable. The editing is also bad as hell and frankly I can't find anything good in this. It's BORING and you can't definitely compare this crap to Suspiria. Forget about Argento!
