Mother of Tears Review at Pop Journalism

POPJOURNALISM.CA | Pop News - Review: 'The Mother of Tears: The Third Mother': "In addition to lots of blood, Argento also enjoys filming beautiful, naked women, some of whom turn out to be lesbians. Thus, the evil witches appear to be crazed supermodels vying for each other’s attention. Of course, according to the just-turned 67-year-old director, “All witches are lesbians.” This is another of his trademarks. And although lesbianism in horror has been a target of ridicule since the 1970s (and rightly so), it is simply one of the things one comes to expect in an Argento production. To be fair, much of the dialogue could have been lifted from a porno, its delivery was often no better and the plot’s conclusion is a little anti-climactic. But it is still an Argento masterpiece. He delivers with a few big scares, several moments of suspense, a disembowelment and lots of gore. "
