WTF Wednesdays: Phenomena

Come early for the preshow at 7pm!

Described by Dario Argento as the favorite of his own films, this mystical horror movie stands among the great filmmaker’s most outrageous propositions.

Jennifer Corvino, played by Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly (Labyrinth, Top Gun: Maverick), is sent to a private Swiss academy for girls where a vicious killer is on the loose. Jennifer has the unique ability to telepathically communicate with insects and an entomologist, Dr. John McGregor (Donald Pleasence, Halloween, Escape from New York), enlists her help in locating the murderer. As the mystery unfolds, they find themselves in a bizarre murder plot with maggots, telepathic insects and a razor-wielding chimpanzee! Can Jennifer uncover the killer’s identity before becoming a victim herself?

Phenomena defies all expectations as its thrilling mystery unravels. The soundtrack features Argento regular and Goblin mastermind Claudio Simonetti, alongside hard rockers Motörhead and Iron Maiden.
