Mother of Tears to be released on June 6

May 18th 2008 23:45

It's been a long time coming, but, finally, horror fans will get the last film in The Three Mothers Trilogy.

Of course, I refer to the films by Dario Argento, which include "Suspiria", "Inferno" and "Mother of Tears"; the latter will be released on June 6 in this fine year of 2008.

Sadly, I've only seen "Suspiria", but it was such a candy-coloured delight to watch that I'm keen to see the second film on DVD, and the latest one on release. If it comes to Australian theatres. Any chance?

The above image of the latest movie is from a Guardian Film Blog post by Tony O'Neill, who suggests that horror fans examine Argento's earlier works in the giallo genre. "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage" is Argento's well-known murder mystery, but O'Neill also recommends "Four Flies on Grey Velvet" and "The Cat O'Nine Tails", as well as work by Lucio Fulci and Mario Bava.

Hey, I'm down. Let's screen them all back-to-back, until we stumble out of the theatre, groggy and moaning as the rising sun scorches our skin. Enough giallo mysteries and it'll seem completely normal to see artificial blood running down the street.

I doubt very much we'll see Mother of Tears in the cinemas. It hasn't faired well with critics overseas. I have most Argento on DVD, including Inferno, the second part of the witch trilogy.

do you have all the older giallos as well?

I'm hoping we'll see Mother of Tears in a festival...

Of the giallo's I have Bird with the Crystal Plumage and Cat O' Nine Tails on VHS, and Four Flies on Grey Velvet on DVD. Then I have Deep Red, Suspiria, Tenebre (a post-modern giallo), Phenomena, Opera, The Stendhal Syndrome, and his version of Phantom of the Opera on DVD. I also have Two Evil Eyes (which consists of a short Argento shocker coupledwith a disappointing ghost short from Romero) on VHS. I don't own Trauma, Sleepless or The Card Player, all of which aren't much good at all.
What festival are you hoping for?

damo, you lucky dog.

bryn, wow, extensive collection. After Deep Red and Suspiria, what would be your next few favourites from Argento?

what festival could it come in? Dunno... isn't there a horror festival at the end of the year?

Seems too scary for me....

Have you ever reviewed a film called The Bank Job? i think it should get some Orble support because it is Australian and I know one of the producers. Nepotism ROCKS!!

cheers

louie, I haven't reviewed it. If you get the producer to mail me a DVD, I'll happily review it! I'm definitely interested in supporting the local film industry...

amy, that picture is wild...

bryn, er... I don't remember when it was. I think it happened in Newtown - and I think I sent you a message about it?

JD, I believe June 6 is the American release date.

Here's the trailer... while it's not a great trailer, I'm definitely interested in watching this!

Bryn, it's called A Night of Horror, and it was in April, unfortunately. I'm almost sure I sent the info to you, but it must have gotten lost in the cobwebs of the net...

A Night of Horror

Looks like fun...

Yeah, yeah, I remember that. You got me confused, by saying it was at the end of the year. I couldn't make the night, due to DJ work commitments ... such as life.
