Phenomena, doo-doo doo-doo-doo.

Arriving at a Swiss Academy for girls, Jennifer Corvino (Jennifer Connelly) gets embroiled in the workings of a serial killer. Her friends the insects and Professor John McGregor (Donald Pleasence) are on hand to help if possible.

Directed and co-written by horror legend Dario Argento, Phenomena is a mixed bag. Ignoring the butchered American version, which was titled Creepers, the full uncut version is still messy. Argento the director is doing good work here, which explains why the film has a sturdy reputation. His eye for striking imagery and horror scene staging is evident here for sure, but Argento the writer (along with Franco Ferrini) fails to string a decent enough narrative together. Pace is all over the place, the dialogue often boorish, while wasting Donald Pleasence is a crime against horror film making. Still, there’s enough good Argento at work here to keep Phenomena above average, even if it’s more for the eyes than the brain. 6/10

Review By: John Chard

Both a great chance to see two acting icons (one, Donald Pleasence, at his prime, and the other, Jennifer Connelly, just starting out on her filmic journey) and one of the films on director Argento’s great run of horror classics, this is worth purchasing the finest print and will award the horror aficionado many great times in rewatches. Cinephiles often called Argento ‘the Italian Alfred Hitchcock’, and this would be a great Exhibit A for their evidence. Essential for connoisseurs of the arcane.

Total Cult
In Switzerland, the teenager Jennifer Corvino (Jennifer Connelly), daughter of a famous actor, arrives in an expensive board school and shares her room with the French schoolmate Sophie (Federica Mastroianni). Jennifer is a sleepwalker, is capable of telepathically communicate with insects and has adaptation problem in the new school. While sleepwalking, she meets and becomes friend of a Scottish entomologist, Prof. John McGregor (Donald Pleasence), and his chimpanzee Tonga. Jennifer decides to help the investigation of Dr. McGregor about a serial killer that is killing young girls in that area.

It may sound ridiculous, but “Phenomena” has never been released on video in Brazil; only two days ago, “Phenomena” was released on DVD in Brazil and now I am glad to have this movie in my collection. The weird story of Dario Argento, one of my favorite directors, is a total cult, showing bizarre characters and situations, maggots, flies, deformed people, serial killer and lots of bodies and body parts. A fifteen years old Jennifer Connelly in her third work, extremely beautiful, shines in the very original role of a sleepwalker that is very connected to insects and develop the skill of communicate with them. Daria Nicolodi, the mother of Asia Argento and former mate of Dario Argento, has a minor, but very important role. And the versatile Donald Pleasence, in the role of a paraplegic researcher, is efficient as usual. The music score, with Goblin, Iron Maiden and Motorhead, is another great attraction of this movie. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): “Phenomena”

Review By: claudio_carvalho
Beyond bad.
One good movie (Suspiria) and everybody starts adoring anything the guy does…

If you wanna spend a boring, painful, pointless evening it might be a good idea to suffer through this movie. Rarely have i ever seen such masses of implausible, unlikely but story-convenient plot twists. Amazingly the movie somehow still manages to be predictable, by being cliché… To add to box-office and stupidity they even put in a monkey. The dialog is full of pointless mid sentence breaks. You get the feeling they were trying to stretch the movie or that the actors forgot their lines. Even worse often the dialog is simply pointless, unnecessary for the characters and the storyline: “Yes”,”No”,”YES”,”NO”,”YES”,”OK, OK YES”.

However, the worst thing of all for me was the incredibly stupid and unlikely behavior of the main character… NOBODY, no matter how scared, could possibly acted this stupid… i mean were used to horror-movie characters acting silly, but this was just too much. I mean, first the girl actually swallows pills that she declaredly suspects to be dangerous. She does so, ALONE in locked bathroom where she could have easily just flushed them or climbed out the window. Instead she barfs them out again shouting “POISON”, “POISON”. Then she leaves the bathroom and tries to call her attorney with the person who poisoned her standing right next to the phone… TOO MUCH.
