PHENOMENA
Una giovane turista (Fiore Argento) perde contatto con la comitiva di cui fa parte in una valle svizzera e viene trucidata. Jennifer (Jennifer Connelly), una ragazzina americana, arriva in un collegio svizzero per completare i suoi studi e apprende strane storie di ragazzine scomparse nei paraggi. Jennifer soffre di sonnambulismo (da cui per la verità credeva di essere guarita) e vagando di notte viene a contatto con l’assassino, anche se non lo vede. Trova rifugio presso un entomologo, il professor John McGregor (Donald Pleasence), che, paralitico, è assistito da una scimmietta. Jennifer ha una strano rapporto di attrazione con gli insetti ed è infatti una lucciola a guidarla la notte seguente, durante un’altra crisi di sonnambulismo, sino al cadavere della sua compagna di stanza Sophie (Federica Mastroianni).

John Chard
Phenomena, doo-doo doo-doo-doo.
Arriving at a Swiss Academy for girls, Jennifer Corvino (Jennifer Connelly) gets embroiled in the workings of a serial killer. Her friends the insects and Professor John McGregor (Donald Pleasence) are on hand to help if possible.
Directed and co-written by horror legend Dario Argento, Phenomena is a mixed bag. Ignoring the butchered American version, which was titled Creepers, the full uncut version is still messy. Argento the director is doing good work here, which explains why the film has a sturdy reputation. His eye for striking imagery and horror scene staging is evident here for sure, but Argento the writer (along with Franco Ferrini) fails to string a decent enough narrative together. Pace is all over the place, the dialogue often boorish, while wasting Donald Pleasence is a crime against horror film making. Still, there’s enough good Argento at work here to keep Phenomena above average, even if it’s more for the eyes than the brain. 6/10

Both a great chance to see two acting icons (one, Donald Pleasence, at his prime, and the other, Jennifer Connelly, just starting out on her filmic journey) and one of the films on director Argento's great run of horror classics, this is worth purchasing the finest print and will award the horror aficionado many great times in rewatches. Cinephiles often called Argento 'the Italian Alfred Hitchcock', and this would be a great Exhibit A for their evidence. Essential for connoisseurs of the arcane.
