Annee/Year: 1985
Format: DVD
Phenomena. Also know as Creepers in the US. This is another movie in my study of Dario Argento the Italian very successfull Director. Phenomena is one of Argento's best film at least that is what he thought back in the 80's. It certainly is an interesting thriller with multiple twists. This movie was produced and cast in the US but shot in Switzerland. The story is of a young girl with extra senses who can "communicate" with animals and insect. She uses her power to track a serial killer who killed her room mate. There is a scene where she is suing a fly to track the bodies of the killer's victims. Very interesting.
The movie casts some great actors such as Jennifer Connely (Labyrinth, Blood diamond) and Donal Pleasence. The movie has great shots of the Swiss countryside and the story is very contrived a la Argento but oh so interesting. The finale is quite original with a monkey on a revenge... Interesting to note that the lovely Jennifer Connely was only 13 at the time the movie was shot and the shooting team had to go to great lenghts to make sure to protect their yound actress. But in one of the final scenes the chimpanzee used to shoot the scene ACTUALLY bit one of her fingers off...must have cost a lot of money in repair damages.
Anyway this is now a classic movie and will be interesting and very exciting for all.
Un cinquième film dans la série exploratoire sur le producteur italien Dario Argento. Ce gars est certainement intéressant et tous ses films sont vraiment différents. Celui, Phenomena, est une de ses meilleures réussites. Le film est un thriller avec beaucoup d'action et de surprise et des scènes magnifiques de la Suisse. Maintenant un classique je ne peux que vous inviter à voir ce film dont la fin va vous jeter par terre.
