Phenomena 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray

From master of horror Dario Argento comes Phenomena – one of his most eccentric and unique thrillers, featuring telepathic insects, maggots galore, and even a razor-wielding chimp. Jennifer Corvino (Jennifer Connelly), daughter of a world-renowned movie star, arrives in the so-called "Swiss Transylvania" to attend an exclusive girls' school. When a vicious killer begins targeting the pupils, sleepwalking Jennifer witnesses the death of a fellow pupil and finds herself in the assassin's headlights.

Aided by paraplegic entomologist John McGregor (Donald Pleasence) and her uncanny ability to communicate telepathically with insects, Jennifer sets out to track down the killer before she becomes the next victim. Presented in a sumptuous 4K restoration, the release features lush cinematography by Romano Albani and a pounding prog rock score by Goblin.
