Phenomena is a Giallo film directed by Dario Argento and starring, in her first big role after Once Upon a Time in America, Jennifer Connelly.
Phenomena came out in 1985 with a budget of $38 million. In America, it was produced by New Line Cinema. The American title for this film was called Creepers and was cut heavily over 20 minutes from the original film.
The story takes place in the Swiss countryside. Jennifer Corvino, played by Jennifer Connelly, arrives at the Swiss Richard Wagner Academy for Girls. Jennifer witnesses a student being murdered and blacks out causing her to wake up not knowing where she is and lost in the woods. 
Forensic enytomologist John Macgregor, played by Donald Pleasance, and his chimpanzee, Tanga, find her and discover that she has the ability to control insects using telepathy and trains her into using the insects to find the killer
Phenomen, in my opinion had the best Goblin score out of the collaborations with Dario Argento. The opera/metal score is accompanied by songs from Iron Maiden and Motorhead as well as Bill Wyman and soprano vocalist, Pina Magri, and Andi Sexgang. Songs for the movie but were never in the final product was Transmutate by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Bill Wyman’s Valley Bolero.
Despite Phenomena’s success was undermined by Dario Argento’s much more popular movies such as “Profondo Rosso , Suspiria, Inferno, and Opera” Phenomena holds a 75% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Phenomena also inspired the hit survival horror 90”s video game Clock Tower. Also, fun fact, Tango “the chimp” bit off Connelly’s finger on set in which Jennifer was immediately taken to the hospital to get her finger reattached.
