Returning from his musical studies in Rome, Mark Elliot is distraught to discover that his sister has gone missing. Socializing with the strange residents of her apartment building & delving into the macabre discoveries that resulted in her disappearance, he finds himself thrust into the world of The Three Mothers, a tale of three wicked sisters who've ruled since the beginning of time. In over his head, Mark must put his reservations behind him if he wishes to survive the wrath of the remainder of the sisters & destroy the one pursuing him.



While this film does offer more of a story 2 the "Three Mothers Trilogy," I do find it 2 be a less competent film than its predecessor & somewhat of a disappointment given how the following film turns out when this film had enough promise 2 make me believe there would be more 2 come. It's still a great film, nonetheless, ofc, I just feel as if certain parts could've been more fantastical or just generally handled better. Still would recommend if u love the original like I do. :cheers:

This is a good sequel to Suspiria that does a great job of expanding the story without being full of boring exposition. It's really mysterious at the beginning with several really well shot scenes, but it does sag a bit during the middle leading up to the climax. Still this is a really effective horror film and one of the better Argento films I've seen.
YASSSSSSS, u loving it >>>> :aricry: I TRULY don't get y ppl have given this such a shit rating all the time unless it's just becuz they can't get over it not being the SAME. as Suspiria, which, I mean, I can get, I felt the same way when I 1st saw the entire trilogy back when I was like 12 or 13, but guess who got over it? :casually: 3 things that I feel drags this a bit is how overly death-focused it becomes (it fits in terms of the narrative, but still, some of the deaths could've probz been done away w/ 2 make this tighter), how Kazanian's plot "ends" (even tho it's 1 of the few scenes actually shot in New York, it literally just makes me SNORT every time, esp. the "twist" in the scene), & the unnecessary sub-plot involving the butler & the caretaker (I get it, some1 had 2 set this place on fire, I just feel like they should've been a part of Tenebrarum's coven instead since she OBVS wasn't doing all the New York nonsense on her own, even tho we never get any definitive answer, u can just tell), which is y I've settled on giving it a 9.5/10 over Suspiria's 10/10, but still most definitely 1 of his best that is just BAFFLING how ppl have let it gone on 2 just get roughly 60% across the board. :distraughtswanson:
Yeah the shifting focus from the lead to all those deaths in the 2nd half was what made it drag for me. They were well shot and creative so it wasn't bad but it just kinda stopped the plot right when it should've been picking up.

It's unfortunate cuz all the other deaths up until then were SO. strong & all the charries that had died up until then had pushed the story 4ward & had 2 die becuz of it, but the rest were just like, "lol, 2 many many motherfuckers still alive, gotta have a sole survivor, remember?" :aargh:
