The premise
A young girl, with an amazing ability to communicate with insects, is transferred to an exclusive Swiss boarding school, where her unusual capability might help solve a string of murders.
Horror Vault's take
When a young American girl arrives at an elite Swiss boarding school, she quickly discovers that her inexplicable psychic bond with insects sets her apart from everyone around her. A series of brutal murders haunts the surrounding countryside, and her singular gift may be the key to unmasking the killer. Director Dario Argento weaves fever-dream visuals and a pounding rock soundtrack into a deeply strange coming-of-age nightmare. Equal parts murder mystery and supernatural thriller, it remains one of giallo cinema's most hypnotic outliers.
