Phenomena
Directed by Dario Argento
During her first night at boarding school, Jennifer witnesses a horrible murder while sleepwalking. After digging deeper into the crime, Jennifer meets a professor who uncovers her psychic connection to insects, and encourages her to use her strange gift to catch the killer. Dario Argento’s sci-fi spin on his iconic giallo style has divided fans since its’ release but for us, its squirmy pleasures have only deepened. Beyond the bugs, maggots and monkeys, it’s a creepy-crawly must-see, especially for Connelly’s fearless performance.
A girl with a psychic connection to insects must use her gift to catch a killer.
Cast: Jennifer Connelly, Donald Pleasence, Daria Nicolodi

As good as Suspiria.
I am soooo glad I subscribe to Shudder. I had no idea there was an Italian film maker named Argento. 'Tenebrae' was the first one I saw on here and I'm completely hooked. These are like paintings come to life. . . coming straight from the film maker's subconscious, which is paetially why they so resonate. Full of so many unecpected, over the top twists that it's hard not to really fall in love with films all over again. 'Dark Glasses' was another on le I recently watched. What gems.
one of my all time fave horror movies! the music is awesome, the scenery is beautiful, jennifer connelly is the best!! some really gross moments! love this movie forever!!
Not my favorite, but it's still pretty good. Never been a huge fan of Jennifer Connelly.
i cannot praise this movie enough, not only a one of Argento's best films but also as ine if my all time favorites! Between the visual frames each being so beautifully artistic and the musical score is ethereal, hauntingly beautiful,and out if this world! Stellar cast! Jennifer Connelly, Donald Pleasance, Daria Nicoliodi!
