Our take

Described by Dario Argento as the favourite of his own films, this mystical horror movie stands among the great filmmaker’s most outrageous propositions. Starring Jennifer Connelly and Donald Pleasence, Phenomena is a nightmarish fairy tale that obliterates the boundaries between dream and reality.
