Mother of Tears (2007) - Dario Argento

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

I liked the fact that he brought the previous two mothers and other characters into the plot as well........

Yeah, he wrapped it up. It's mainstream - I mean my girlfriend who is not an Italian horror fan, enjoyed it! (despite it being rather gory) - but she was able to understand it having not seen Suspiria nor Inferno. Udo Keir was wasted, and Daria Nicolodi's CGI heavy role was a big slice of cheese - but Asia performed well enough I thought. The ending was a little WTF!

Great soundtrack too..

It WAS rather gory mate,but I thought HEY! we're in a timewarp back to the glory days of Italian horror!Perhaps this is the way Il Maestro intends to go,as his last installments for Masters of Horror were rather gory as well......

Yeah, not complaining..

Did you see the news about Giallo? He's only got Adrien Brody on board! That's quite impressive getting such a high profile (and damn fine) actor as him to sign on.

I'm not fussed about "big" actors - but Brody is someone who I think will do well in an Argento flick.

Certainly fits the bill mate,......Argento ain't exactly a spring chicken,I'm just glad that he's still making movies,and as long as he makes movies,I for one will continue watching them......

Yeah, but I won't believe it til it's confirmed. Remember Bridget Fonda was meant to be the star of Stendhal Syndrome way back when? Don't be surprised if Asia ends up in the Brody role............

I was really looking forward to seeing this film. Especially being a big Argento fan. And naturally I was not disappointed, because it's brilliant!
I read that there is going to be a R1 DVD from Anchor Bay with extras.
But as with NoShame and there delayed dvd of DOOR INTO DARKNESS, I'll believe it when the dvd is released. Roll on Argento!

I reviewed it awhile back (http://www.wildsidecinema.com/94.html) and have to admit that I enjoyed it... and still do! I've seen it 3 times this year already!

What about Crocodile?

Knew that was coming mate.....
