This might be a slow burn but boy howdy is it worth it for the last 20 minutes. So many gasps and "what theeee" and "NO WAY". Good stuff. And I had no idea what an amazing child actress Jennifer Connelly was.

I had not seen this classic before today, and I don’t regret either watching it now, nor having not watched it when I was much younger haha. Great piece artistically in so many ways (the soundtrack, the cinematography, Jennifer herself), but so traumatising. Sheesh. The pace is nicely set, but in the end it just keeps throwing things at you for some truly shocking, “throwing-the-popcorn” kind of moments. And if you ever were to choose a super power... maybe consider insects :grimacing: I recommend watching this with a bunch of friends, or a film club. (I also had to wonder whether there is any connection between this being Jennifer’s first film/film before the labyrinth, and the main score made by “Goblin”? :joy:)

I can see how this became a horror classic during the VHS era but it's a bit of a mess for a first time viewer in 2022.

Pretty boring this one, I watched the International Version though which is almost 2 hours so it dragged quite a bit, maybe should've watched another version. Music was horrible as well. I only watched it because I plan on playing Clock Tower soon and it's influenced by this film.

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.

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 af More
