Of the two good Three Mother films (I really, really, and sincerely doubt that anyone is going to say Mother of Tears is as good if not better than the earlier films) which do you prefer?
Suspiria has some amazing use of colors and superb opening and ending sequences. Also the soundtrack, obviously, is fucking amazing and added so much more to that film. But my main problem with it is that it hinges on a very obvious mystery as to what is going on in this school. And it's obviously witches or a cult thing going on. And the film is almost completely uninteresting in between the murder sequences.
Whereas Inferno keeps things interesting from beginning to end by deliberately trying to not go the obvious route. I think because we the audience are never sure what exactly is going on gives Inferno a definite edge over Suspiria. And the music by Keith Emerson is very good and goes for the gothic operatic approach and works very well.
I don't like Jessica Harper as an actress either.
So for me it's Inferno.
