    Maybe strictly for Argento fans. I count myself in that group. I didn't expect the humor. Much better than many recent Argento films.

    A super entertaining film. A fitting finale to the trilogy and a much better film than INFERNO. Loved it!

    The only Dario Argento film I have really enjoyed is "Do You Like Hitchcock". I found Mother of Tears to be rather mundane and preposterous. I never could get involved in the film. Plenty of gore, little substance.

  1. The first two thirds are gangbusters, with marauding bands of tarted-up young witches who look only slightly less scary than Lindsay Lohan and her pals on an average night.

    So unapologetically loopy and lush and ridiculous that I found it irresistible.
  3. Witty to the point of hilarity, blood-soaked and thoroughly politically incorrect, Mother of Tears: The Third Mother follows 1970s cult classics "Suspiria" and "Inferno" to complete Argento's "Mother" trilogy.
