Former giallo director Dario Argento (sorry, but did you see The Card Player? Old Dario has been out for the last few of his films) has re-possessed his body, slapped his wine-addled gray matter back into its natural twisted state, and finished the third of the Three Witches trilogy. Named The Third Mother, it will be released early this year in Italy; hopefully we'll get to see it here before 2010. It stars Asia, of course, and our favorite "the blood of these whores is killing me" mega-B star Udo Kier (but not as Dr. Mandel).
Those who have gotten a sneak peak at the script are pretty positive about it, and Cannes wants it ready for a special viewing. Dario has stated that being able to do the "Masters of Horror" stuff for Showtime kicked his imagination back into gear, so sacrifice something to Showtime when you get a chance. Lets hope the experience also kicked his eyes back into focus so he can return to his true gift: making perversely-lit gross-out that creepifies even us jaded horror fans.
Of course, if you haven't seen the first two movies, you should be cast into a room full of razor wire. First.
