Overview
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.

Viewing Notes
Giving it a five for some of the great practical FX but overall this is not a good movie. It has none of the set design, lighting or use of color that make the first two films in the trilogy so much fun to watch.
I didn’t hate Asia Argento’s acting as much this time around but it’s still wooden. Udo Kier is mostly wasted as well. Would have been fun to see him in a more prominent role. The laugh scene ending was a definite WTF moment too.
