Dario Argento’s follow up to
“Tenebre” adds the supernatural back into his signature stylized filmmaking in “Phenomena”.
Starring a young Jennifer Connelly, it tells the story of a girl who has the
ability to communicate with insects. She is teased by her fellow students at a
Swiss private school, but when a series of murders targets young women of the
same age as those at the school, an entomologist point out to her how her
special ability can help to solve the case.
You know it’s a Argento
picture within the first five minutes because that’s how long it take for a
young woman’s head to smash through a pane of glass. In fact the first two
murders involve a young girl’s head smashing through a pane of glass in slow
motion. He just loves doing that!

this movie does get a bit ridiculous, but the opening scenes combined with the music (that opening bit is by Bill Wyman and Terry Taylor) is one of my favorite, eeriest bits ever...

Yes. The music in this movie is excellent. Wyman and Taylor's contributions are the best, but I love the metal tracks Argento chose to include as well.
