I often hear it described as a cult classic. I've not seen it in over ten years, so I don't remember much about it, but it is one I need to revisit at some point.
Don't worry, Part 2 has you covered there.DancesWithWerewolves wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 10:21 pm That was actually better than expected. Still not good, but not the trash I was expecting.

Well, that was awful. My least-favorite Argento movie thus far. Shame, but not a surprise.Jigsaw wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 8:10 pm About to watch Mother of Tears for the first time. Re-read the plots of both Suspiria and Inferno just in case they're relevant (mainly to re-learn the names of the three witches), but not holding out hope that this will be as enjoyable as either of those two.
I remember thinking it was fine (though below par for Dario). That said, his Dracula adaption was the worst I've seen of his. Even Rutger Hauer couldn't save it.Jigsaw wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:10 pmWell, that was awful. My least-favorite Argento movie thus far.

I remember Mother Of Tears getting convoluted and messy towards the last act. The build up was interesting, but they trip and fumble constantly throughout the finale.Jigsaw wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:10 pmWell, that was awful. My least-favorite Argento movie thus far.

My DVD copy is just 100 minutes. That said, it was decently gory, so if the extra two minutes is just more gore, I can't imagine that'd change my outlook much.Havok wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:55 pmI remember Mother Of Tears getting convoluted and messy towards the last act.

Did you watch the Unrated version? Full cut is 102 minutes and those two minutes are mainly the gore scenes.
I watched that last October and thought it was good. Nice goreJigsaw wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:10 pmWell, that was awful. My least-favorite Argento movie thus far.

Decent gore, sure. Shame everything else was a mess.Tiggnutz wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 10:31 amI watched that last October and thought it was good.

I have heard how atrocious Dracula is. Luckily, I never plan on watching it in my life.DancesWithWerewolves wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:19 pmI remember thinking it was fine (though below par for Dario).

When it comes to Argento I have a very lenient grade curve for plot and actingJigsaw wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 11:15 amDecent gore, sure.
