Mother of Tears Details

Mother of Tears

As a longtine fan of Dario Argento this film only serves to prove the point that his career as a horror film director is well and truly over. It is appallingly bad - bad acting, script, direction and dialogue. No wonder audiences have laughed at this film at festival screenings. There are some gory set-pieces, but even they can't help save this clunker. Rent Suspiria or Deep Red instead and see what Argento used to be capable of and don't waste your time or money on this dud.

Tut Tut Tut

Dario, oh Dario, what have you done?...that truly was hell on dvd

Judging by his latest offering, long gone are the glory years that offered such horror treats as Suspiria and Tenebrae, instead, it seems Mr Dario (have you seen my mojo??) Argento seems intent on destroying his legendary status with his much-anticipated Mother of Tears (The Third Mother).

Considering how long this film has been in anticipation you would have thought Dario would have put more effort into it! The acting was so unbelievably bad that at one point I actually started to cry.... I wish I were lying. Apart from the fairly decent gore nothing much stands out. Simple as it may be, the story is so badly edited that you begin to lose interest half way through and you begin the wander, just what the hell is going on???

In conclusion, please avoid! You will thank me for it later, trust me!
