Mother of Tears

Shocking gore and artistic brilliance mark the return of Dario Argento, “one of the best horror directors” ever” as he concludes his classic “Three Mothers” trilogy (including Suspiria and Inferno). Argento’s daughter, Asia Argento, stars as Sarah, a young American art student who naively opens an ancient chest releasing unimaginable evil into Rome. As violence and murder reach epidemic heights, Sarah must use her untapped magic powers to destroy the last great witch in human history. Once opened, it triggers a series of violent incidents: robberies, rapes and murders increase dramatically, while several mysterious, evil-looking young women coming from all over the world are gathering in the city. All these events are caused by the return of Mater Lacrimarum, the last of three powerful witches who have been spreading terror and death for centuries. Alone against an army of psychos and demons, Sarah Mandy, an art student who seems to have supernatural abilities of her own, is the only person left to prevent the Mother of Tears from destroying Rome.
