Dario: So I’m going to make another movie with a killer in a trench coat stabbing women to death. This one is set at a bording school in Switzerland. Studio: Perfect. How much money do you—? Dario: But mostly it’s about a girl who psychically communicates with…
Patrick WillemsMay 17, 2017You know an Argento film is overstuffed when he brings in a narrator for exactly one line of unnecessary voiceover.

A monkey nurse seeks revenge with a straight razor and somehow that’s not the weirdest thing in this
JustyNov 17, 2020suspiria but with bugs + Motörhead !?!? that’s what i would call a PERFECT A+ MOVIE !!!!!!! that’s gonna be a YES from me, dog !!!!!
sarah squirmFeb 28, 2021The last 15 or so minutes of Phenomena are absolutely balls to the wall insanity, so much so that it almost makes you forget how tedious almost everything up until that point is. Also, theres a Motorhead needle drop in this that's so inappropriate and jarring that I can't…

Absolutely perfect. This is exactly what I'm looking for in a movie which is why I'm always mad at movies.
Branson ReeseFeb 23, 2018This movie just keeps getting better as I get older. I’ve always loved it, but on this rewatch I was just mesmerized throughout the entire thing. This is a surreal fairy tale nightmare masterpiece. The beauty that is this movie is almost indescribable. I love that opening…
Tony the TerrorOct 11, 2020“I am not schizophrenic, epileptic, or stoned!” A flawed masterpiece. Hellish acting from the supporting cast, random lines dubbed in Italian, and a questionable plot are multiple reasons to criticize Phenomena. Yet, there’s so much chaotic charm to this film that its…

It’s really hard to find enjoyment in a movie whose music is so out of sync with anything else in the movie that you can’t figure out what the heck you’re watching. Contrapuntal music can work (see Reservoir Dogs), but this is a failure all around.
Quin likedPhenomenaI’ll have to watch it again sometime when my brother isn’t screaming nonstop in the other room
Caley St. John likedPhenomenaDecent, but questionable acting and pretty campy
- Jacob Hall is "meh" onPhenomena
Dario Argento misses for the first time for me. The music choice in this was just absolutely garbage. There's one scene in particular where Connelly is creeping through the woods, and this techno beat starts playing and it took all the suspense away. Crazy ending tho
goobyguy420 likedPhenomenaInteresting movie, somewhat soiled by absolutely helpless protagonist and supporting characters and some incredibly bad acting. Never seen worse chase scenes / screams in my life. Still compelling though.
Jake lovedPhenomenaAbsolutely the peak of Italian dreamlike horror

she killed those people with bugs!?

The whole of Phenomena is less than the sum of its parts, but the parts are often terrifying and exhilarating.
