La Terza Madre: The Third Mother (6/10)

Not at all worthy of it predecessors, Inferno & Suspiria, but at least it takes no prisoners when it comes to over-the-top violence–I’d recommend seeing if only for that. The plot and setting drifts around way too much, and, at times, the film just … looks cheap and amateurish–Daria Nicolodi as Obi-Wan Kenobi, lame. I have a feeling I may enjoy it a little more on a second viewing, but I’ll hold off on that until I get annoyed by Argento’s next disaster.

Not bad, considering the “monster” is not in the least bit scary. The initial set-up is a bit slow, but it picks up to become a fairly well-paced film. Kinda like a mix between Cabin Fever and the TV show Survivor.

Entertaining but thoroughly confused monster movie. The over-the-top comedic moments tend to jar you out of the already paper thin story. There is no suspense whatsoever and you will be puzzled as to why 95% of the time no one seems to care that there is a 40 foot monster running around killing people.
