Short description
An ancient urn is found in a cemetery outside Rome. Once opened, it triggers a series of violent incidents: robberies, rapes and murders increase dramatically, while several mysterious, evil-looking young women coming from all over the world are gathering in the city. All these events are caused by the return of Mater Lacrimarum, the last of three powerful witches who have been spreading terror and death for centuries. Alone against an army of psychos and demons, Sarah Mandy, an art student who seems to have supernatural abilities of her own, is the only person left to prevent the Mother of Tears from destroying Rome.

What's left behind the scenes

  • This film is the final part of a well-known trilogy, the completion of which audiences had been waiting for almost 30 years – since the release of "Suspiria" (1977) and "Inferno" (1980). These are often considered the pinnacle of director Dario Argento's work and among the best horror films in Italian and world cinema.
  • The film's promotional trailer was first shown at the 60th Cannes Film Festival in 2007. On this occasion, a restored version of "Suspiria" was also screened as part of the non-competitive Cannes Classics program.
  • Daria Nicolodi and Asia Argento are mother and daughter in real life.
