~Spoiler~I'm one of the few horror geeks out there that does not see how Suspiria has garnered the reputation it has. And I can barely remember anything about Inferno. Dario Argento has crafted far superior masterpieces but these are the films that most people want to talk about. Imagine my surprise when Argento's latest film, the final act of a long awaited trilogy, was not well received by his fanbase. Mother of Tears failed to live up to many expectations. I for one was not disappointed because I knew it couldn't possibly live up to nearly 30 years of anticipation (Inferno was released in 1980!). The film follows Asia Argento as she tries to kill the last of the three "Mothers" in order to save the world from witches. That's the basic plot and I have to admit it took me a few days to finish this one. There are so many flaws with the film I don't know where to begin. If you're a die-hard fan, it has none of Argento's signature style or color palette. If you're just a casual horror fan, there's not much here that would hold your interest. If you are an Asia Argento fan, she is looking rough in this picture. So I question if there is an audience for this film. I enjoyed both of Argento's Masters of Horror entries, but he hasn't made a good film in a long while. Let's hope Giallo is a return to form.
