Phenomena. 1985.
An American student is sent to a boarding school in Switzerland, she has the ability to communicate with insects and meets a professor who lost his assistant in a brutal killing try to solve the mystery of who the killer is.
Jennifer Connelly takes the lead role in this Argento's flick as the young girl with psychic abilities and sleep walker. Donald Pleasance plays professor John McGregor (with a decent Scottish accent). Part giallo thriller and part horror. It may not be for everyone but after a few watches of the movie to understand it this is still a bit creepy mixed with some good kill scenes and a pit of sludge. There is a good soundtrack from Simon Boswells and Goblin mixed with Iron Maiden and brilliant cinematography from. Romano Albania. Worth watch and never upset a chimpanzee. 8 out of 10.
