Phenomena is a 1985 Italian horror film directed by Dario Argento and starring Jennifer Connelly, Daria Nicolodi, and Donald Pleasence. After its release in Italy, Phenomena was purchased for distribution in the United States by New Line Cinema, who cut over twenty minutes from the film and released it under the title Creepers. The film features a score by Goblin, as well as a multitude of heavy metal songs on its soundtrack. The film was inspired to Dario Argento after he learned that insects are sometimes used during murder investigations. Jennifer Connelly had part of her finger bitten off by the chimpanzee in the final scene at the end of the film. She was rushed to the hospital and the finger was re-attached.
A young girl, with an amazing ability to communicate with insects, is transferred to an exclusive Swiss boarding school, where her unusual capability might help solve a string of murders.
***SPOILER ALERT***
Girls smashing glass with their faces, I just found out that that's the director's trademark. This is a really bad movie with a lot of mistakes, but very fun to watch.
The ape was the best actor in these 2 Argento movies that I've just watched XD.
The music is so bad... It doesn't match the rhythm and tone of the visuals. Maybe Argento intended it to be like that. What a rebel!
