Phenomena ia a bit of a hybrid of a giallo and a more fantastical supernatural thriller, and was originally released here in the U.S. The film was released following Tenebre(1982), one of my favorite Argento films, a stylish Giallo classic that brought new life to the stylish Italian whodunit. Phenomena (1985) is the third of what has become known as Dario Argento's animals trilogy a trio of films beginning with his first film, the stone-cold giallo classic The Bird with the Crystal Plumage(1970), Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971) and ending with Phenomena (1985). Phenomena also features fantastic soundtrack music from progressive-rock favorite Goblin, British Heavy Metal masters Motörhead & Iron Maiden, Andi Sex Gang, Bill Wyman and Simon Boswell! Jennifer finds herself in a bizarre murder plot with maggots, mutants, and razor-wielding chimpanzee mayhem! Can she uncover the killer’s identity before becoming a victim herself? Daria Nicolodi (Tenebrae) and Fiore Argento (Demons) also star in this strange, unique and gory film from Italy’s Master of Horror, Dario Argento. McGregor (Donald Pleasence, John Carpenter’s Halloween series, Escape from New York) enlists her to help locate the killer. Jennifer is a “gifted” girl with the strange ability to communicate with insects, and Dr. Synopsis: The young Jennifer Corvino (played by Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly (Labyrinth) in one of her first film roles) is sent to a private Swiss academy for girls where a vicious killer is on the loose, brutally murdering students.
