Plot: An ancient urn chained to a coffin is unearthed by chance by some men at work along the road bordering the Viterbo’s cemetery.

The only survivor of the Three Mothers - three powerful witches who had been shedding blood and terror for aeons - Mater Lacrimarum (the Mother of Tears) has been hiding in Rome for centuries and her awakening triggers a chain of mysterious and terrible events: the Evil is back to cast its dark shadow over the city.

Sarah Mandy (Asia Argento), a young student of restoration, co-worker and love interest of Michael Pierce (Adam James), the curator of the Museum of Ancient Art of Rome, is involved in the escalating and increasingly frantic episodes of violence. Sarah tries to run away but she cannot: the Third Mother is looking for her and Sarah is not aware of the fact that her mother Elisa Mandy (Daria Nicolodi) was a powerful white witch brutally killed by Mater Suspiriorum, the witch from Fryeburg.

Helped by the spirit of her mother, by an eminent esoterism academic, Guglielmo De Witt (Philippe Leroy), and by the Chief Constable Marchi (Cristian Solimeno), Sarah realizes that she has no way out and that she must face the impending threat...

    Oh, God, I can't believe I had to go through this film. No, not "film." "Ordeal." What words to use? Disgusting, awfully-acted, horribly-directed, like a horror film that jumped out of the 1960's, without any basic core or story. Just...hideous. I remember in fact, that at the first 3 minutes or so, half the cinema room had left. Why did I stay?

    The third and final part of Dario Argento's "Three Mothers Trilogy". It doesn't have the bright colors and wild electronic music of the first two. It did not have the vibrant sensory overload which Suspiria and Inferno had. On the plus side, the gore was quite intense and creatively presented. I liked how they addressed the plots of the first two films. I loved the new-wave witches which landed in Rome. If the city was falling a second time, I hoped to see the evil on a larger scale; a few street fights didn't convince me. For consistency with the other two, there needed to be more animal attacks -- we simply had a cool little psycho monkey. Asia Argento is always fun to watch, even if she isn't the greatest actress. The plot gave her character some bizarre psychic powers. The story was certainly weird enough, but it wasn't executed with enough energy or Argento's awesome early style.

    This is it for Argento. The end of the trilogy. I'm not expecting something as good as Suspiria and Inferno, but he does owe the world something new. Something special.

    Delightfully cheesy with some great effects and gore. The story is convoluted and goes nowhere in making any sense. Most of the casting is good save for the title character.
