I notice no one has voted "Mother Of Tears" as their favourite-I understand that I was a little disappointed by her myself.

I was never sure about the identity of this character in Inferno. Is she the Mother Of Tears?

Mother of Darkness (Mater Tenebrarum). I used to have a huge crush on her.

I am one of the selected few who prefer Inferno over Suspiria. As good as Suspiria is, Inferno is a notch better in terms of plot, acting, atmosphere and cinematography IMO.

Can't beat Suspiria's Goblin score though.

Then who's this?

Same character, different actress. That's Veronica Lazar, as the second Mother disguised as the nurse.

The pic earlier was the second Mother in the form of a music student spying on our hero (presumably). The actress is Ania Pieroni.

I see. That would make more sense than the third mother getting involved.

I'm also in the minority in prefering Inferno to Suspiria for me it was the complexity of Mater Tenebrarum who swung it for me. I was the same as wickerfan in that I thought the younger actress was Mother Of Tears making a cameo in Inferno. It's good to know she instead adds further depth to Mater Tenebrarum.

I attempted to watch mother of tears a while ago, but the copy I had was crap... hmm, might see if I can rent it tomorrow, good video store over the road, then I can vote, hooray!

I also bizarrely saw a crap copy of Mother Of Tears last year-I don't think the film is as bad as some people make out. I think it was just the character of Mother Of Tears that got people so riled as she was very disappointing compared to the other two. However as a film I think it is the most controversial and ultraviolent of the three.

I'll check it out if I can, they should have it, hopefully, otherwise I have a huge back catalogue of movies I have bought recently which I have been meaning to watch from the 70's grindhouse era... plenty of violence and gore for the spare hours of the weekend none the less.
