ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
One of the most wildly original films ever from writer/director Dario Argento, an insane epic of terror, wonder, and jaw-dropping carnage. Jennifer Connelly stars as an outcast student at a Swiss boarding school who discovers both her telepathic power to control insects and the gore-soaked trail of a razor-wielding killer. Can a kindly professor (Donald Pleasence of HALLOWEEN) now harness her ‘gift’ to stop the bloodbath of a psychopath? Daria Nicolodi (TENEBRE), Dalila Di Lazzaro (FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN) and Fiore Argento (DEMONS) co-star — along with a pounding soundtrack by Goblin, Bill Wyman, Iron Maiden and Motörhead — in the shocker that remains a favorite of Argento fans as well as one of the most brutally original horror thrillers of the ‘80s.

ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
Jennifer Corvino (Connelly), who is able to communicate telepathically with insects, is sent to an eerie Swiss boarding academy for girls where the students are being butchered by a vicious serial killer. Guided by wheelchair-bound bug specialist, Dr. McGregor (Pleasance), she must find the killer before he finds her. Beautiful school girls, weird faculty, maggots, mutants and a chimpanzee with a razor, this is Italian maestro Dario Argento's most outrageous movie. Darkly fanciful and almost dream-like, Phenomena is Argento's favorite among his films, though during production he claimed it was "a story I took from the outside."
