Sinopsis:

Jennifer Corvino, hija de un famoso actor de Hollywood, ingresa en la Academia Richard Wagner, un internado situado en las montañas que rodean Zurich (Suiza). Muy pronto empiezan a producirse una serie de brutales asesinatos, obra de un psicópata, con una especial inclinación por las jovencitas del colegio. Jennifer, que tiene los dones paranormales de la telequinesia y la telepatía, intentará no sólo desenmascarar al sádico que aterroriza a sus compañeras, sino también averiguar qué terrible secreto encierran los muros del internado.

Opinión:

No me lo esperaba, pero de verdad me encantó en todos los aspectos, tiene una atmósfera difusa y rara, como si al final todo fuese un sueño, o quizás pesadilla, para el espectador.
Banda sonora bastante diversa que mezcla el rock y el heavy metal con toques de ópera. Leí que en su época fue bastante censurada y recortada por su contenido, pero en lo personal no la encontré taaaaan violenta y grotesca para llegar a ese extremo, por otro lado tenemos a una jovencita y radiante Jennifer Connelly que se pega más gritos que la propia Jamie Lee Curtis, pero que personifica a una adolescente con bastante carácter y sentido común que la hacen memorable. En cuanto al asesino y su entorno, creo que fue el punto más débil de la película, o al menos lo fue para mí durante el desenlace ya que se me hizo muy Viernes 13, pero en términos generales estuvo decente.

Valoración:

Dario Argento's eye for the cerebral and weirdly visual is perfectly captured in Phenomena, in my opinion, the best movie he made since his Giallo era.

Jennifer Connelly's career started interestingly enough in this sci-fi horror flick which incorporates a girl with the power of zoolingualism (insect communication) as well a serial killer who is stalking school girls in Germany.

A strong cast with both Connelly and Donald Pleasance headlining this film, though the effects and story are a bit cheesy in places.… Expand

Horror film by the master of Italian horror that frightens and impresses in an original and really beautiful way. The film hasn't aged too badly even though it may have too slow rhythms but never tire of it anyway.

If your new to Dario Argento s films I wouldn't start here. I recommend starting with Deep Red or Opera.

I recommend starting with Deep Red or Opera. Most of his films flirt with bizarre imagery and moments of flying off the rails at full speed...and he made himself a nice career in the film business in spite of it. Phenomena is Argento completely untethered and unhinged. All of his tropes and stylistic flourishes are turned up to the max.Completely untethered and unhinged is what makes Phenomena so much fun. It's just that if you haven't seen some of his other films first...before watching Phenomena.You might not be as willing to the ride on this WEIRD awesome experience.… Expand
