Almost 30 years in the making, Dario Argento finally concludes The Three Mothers trilogy with Mother of Tears (La Terza Madre).
The film centers on a young American art student "Sarah" (played by Argento's daugher Asia), who unwittingly opens an ancient urn that unleashes the demonic power of the world's most powerful witch. As a scourge of suicides plague the city and witches from all over the world converge on Rome to pay homage, Sarah must use all her own psychic powers to stop the "Mother of Tears" before her evil conquers the world.
The first film in the series, Suspiria, was released in 1977 and remains one of Argento's best films. Suspira was
then followed up in 1980 with Inferno.
The release of Mother of Tears is exciting news for fans of Italian horror films, and of Argento in particular. The film is scheduled to be released in Italy
in October of this year. No U.S. release dates have been posted, but in the
meantime, check out the trailer below!
