Will it be rediscovered as a guilty pleasure?

Daria Nicolodi's Obi-Wan-cameo. The uneasy feeling that the scenes between Asia and her mother actually channel their real-life relationship. The godawful ending. The gratuitous gore. The Mother of Tears' plastic rack. Asia's out-of-the-blue shower scene - right after she saw her mother's spirit being dragged into the fiery depths of hell. The craptastic metal song over the credits ("She is sex and death and more" - WTF?). The credits' overabundance of occult imagery.

It's been a while since I first saw The Mother of Tears. I watched it again yesterday and since I could pretty much only remember the bad parts, I actually had a lot of fun rewatching it and seeing just how BAD they were.
After living down my initial disappointment, I could actually appreciate this one as trashy fun. Anyone else feel this way? Could La terza madre become the Showgirls of horror movies?

idk why everyone hated this so much anyway, it was a thousand times better than giallo, phantom of opera, card player & do u like hitchcock.

Agreed

Worthy of a cult following.

Trashy fun is an apt description.
