After beginning the witchy tale of the malevolent Three Mothers at a secretive ballet academy in Freiburg, Germany (
Suspiria) and later tracking the supernatural goings-on to a doomed tenement building in New York City (
Inferno), Italian horror icon
Dario Argento draws his long-running trilogy to a close with this third and final installment set in the Italian capitol. Co-scripted by
Toolbox Murders screenwriters Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson,
Mother of Tears stars
Asia Argento as an American art student who unknowingly unleashes a demonic plague of witches on Rome by breaking the seal of an ancient urn.
Udo Kier,
Massimo Sarchielli, Phillipe Leroy, and
Daria Nicolodi also appear in the eagerly-anticipated tale of Mater Lachrymarum - the third and most powerful witch in the terrifying trilogy. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
