From master of horror Dario Argento (Suspiria, The Bird with the CrystaI PIumage) comes Phenomena – one of his most eccentric and unique thriIlers, featuring telepathic insects, maggots gaIore, and even a razor-wielding chimp!
Jennifer Corvino (Jennifer ConnelIy, Labyrinth), daughter of a worId-renowned movie star, arrives in the so-caIled "Swiss Transylvania" to attend an exclusive girIs’ schooI. However, a vicious kiIIer is targeting the pupiIs, and sIeepwalker Jennifer finds herseIf in the assassin’s headIights when her nocturnaI wanderings cause her to witness the death of a felIow pupil. Aided by parapIegic entomologist John McGregor (Donald Pleasence, HaIIoween) and her own uncanny abiIity to communicate telepathicalIy with insects, Jennifer sets out to track down the killer before she herseIf becomes the Iatest victim...
Released in 1985, towards the end of Argento’s decade-Iong golden age as a director, Phenomena co-stars DaIiIa Di Lazarro (The Pyjama Girl Case), Patrick Bauchau (CIear and Present Danger) and Daria NicoIodi (Tenebrae), and features lush cinematography by Romano Albani (lnferno) and a pounding prog rock score by GobIin (Deep Red, Suspiria). Presenting the originaI ltaIian version in a sumptuous 4K restoration.
