Rating: 4/5 --
Phenomena may not be as consistent as Argento's masterpieces but it's frequently fantastic and deserves a reappraisal.

Between shots of stunning mountain scenery there are paranormal breezes, unfeasibly bright night-lighting and buckets and buckets of maggots.

Rating: 3/4 --
Phenomena (a.k.a. Creepers) provides what is alternately Argento's most batty and spiritual landscape.

The best acting is by an expressive, resourceful chimpanzee - definitely the year's Best Supporting Primate.

New York Times
so over-egged is the story with police procedural, insect science and paranormal events that squaring the circle of all these clashing frames becomes a disorienting thrill with heady pleasures of its own.

Worth catching if you're a hardcore Argento fan. Otherwise, pass.

... Phenomena works best when viewed as a contemporary fairy tale.

Product Description:
Released in the US in heavily edited form as CREEPERS in 1986, Italian horror master Dario Argento's masterpiece manages to be involving and interesting while providing a steady stream of funhouse style shocks. Jennifer Corvino (Connelly) is attending a Swiss boarding school for girls when she discovers she is able to communicate telepathically with insects. When a serial killer begins murdering students, bug specialist Dr. McGregor (Pleasance) must help her use her powers to find the killer. With a soundtrack featuring Motorhead and Iron Maiden making the experience ever more disorienting, you won't know where Argento is taking you next. Check the run time, as many different versions exist (the 110 minute version is the most complete).
