Moran Atias Movies
Svelte, raven-haired Israeli beauty Moran Atias graduated to film roles via a successful and lucrative career as a fashion model. Atias debuted on celluloid with a highly visible supporting role in Italian director Luciano Melchionna's 2005 thriller Gas, then subsequently teamed up with shockmeister Dario Argento for his supernatural horror film Mother of Tears (2007). In that film, Atias played the "mother" of the title, Mater Lacrimarum -- the last survivor of three millennia-old witches. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
After beginning the witchy tale of the malevolent "Three Mothers" at a secretive ballet academy in Freiburg, Germany (Suspiria), and later tracking the supernatural goings-on to a doomed tenement building in New York City (Inferno), Italian horror icon Dario Argento draws his long-running trilogy to a close with this third and final installment, set in the Italian capital. Co-scripted by Toolbox Murders screenwriters Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson, Mother of Tears stars Asia Argento as an American art student who unknowingly unleashes a demonic plague of witches on Rome by breaking the seal of an ancient urn. Udo Kier, Adam James, Philippe Leroy, and Daria Nicolodi also appear in the eagerly anticipated tale of Mater Lachrymarum -- the third and most powerful witch in the terrifying trilogy. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
