Sex & Nudity

  • The top of a man's buttocks can be seen for a split second.
  • Three instances of nude buttocks (two female, one unknown);
  • 3-4 brief flashes of nude female breasts.
  • Two women kiss in bed.
  • One instance of sadomasochism.

Violence & Gore

  • This is one of the few Dario Argento films that doesn't have the stylized gore. It looks realistic most of the time. Because of this and the deaths themselves being gorier, this is probably the most violent film in the Three Mothers trilogy.
  • A woman throws her baby off a bridge. We see it fall into the water. Not gory, but it is disturbing.
  • Several scenes of people rioting, destroying property, and attacking each other.
  • A man is strangled and placed under a curse that causes him to fall to the ground and his eyes to bleed.
  • A woman's head is repeatedly bashed in with a sliding door. Blood and brain matter are briefly seen.
  • A young child's body is found completely mutilated. Blood, flesh, guts, and bones are all visible.
  • A woman slits the throat of a priest with a meat cleaver, and is then later seen hacking his head apart. Heavy blood and gore. She then slits her own throat.
  • Several people tear out and eat the insides of a nude woman.
  • A woman is stabbed in the chest and then has her eyes gouged out. Heavy blood and gore.
  • A man is found with his throat slit. Still alive, he attacks a woman. The woman then sets him on fire.
  • Two men are seen chained up and bloodied, but still alive. Another man slices one of their arms off.
  • A man stabs another man in the eye, injury detail is seen briefly. He then shoots several other people, with blood and gore briefly seen.
  • During an earthquake, a monkey is crushed by a giant boulder. Then, a woman is impaled by a large spike.
  • A woman is penetrated with a spear. She gradually dies of blood loss.
  • Several instances of artwork showing violence, some graphic.
  • A woman is violently killed by demonic entities. Her jaw is ripped open by a wooden device, and she is then gutted and strangled to death with her own entrails. Very graphic and bloody.

Profanity

  • Several uses of "damn" and "fuck" throughout.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Two instances of cigarette smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In terms of gore, nudity, and language, "Mother of Tears" takes the cake for being the most explicit film in the Three Mothers trilogy.
  • The heavy blood and gore that now looks realistic may be intense for some viewers.
  • The element of rioting and nationwide violence may be intense for some viewers.
  • There is a brief rape scene. Two men force themselves onto a woman, but the act happens offscreen. Although the scene is fairly short, this could seriously trigger some viewers.
