Aenigma
A girl at a private girl's school is the victim of a cruel prank that leads to her being left in a coma. However she seems to have developed the ability to astral travel out of her body and begins getting revenge on the girls that tormented her.
Aenigma comes in the later period of Fulci's the career where the quality of the work he turned out was in decline due to lower budgets and a decline in health. The dip in quality can be seen here with some iffy acting and effects however its actually still not bad. The composition of shots is still great, he gets some decent camera moves and the film is kept as simple as possible so it allows Fulci to focus on some decent deaths.
It ultimately comes across like a weird hybrid of phenomena, Suspiria and patrick and its still nowhere near as good as films like the beyond but its solidly entertaining nonsense.
