Phenomena

Similar to the theme about the young woman with psychic powers in Stephen King’s Carrie, this above-par occult horror film stars Jennifer Connelly as Jennifer Carvino, a fragile-looking waif whose unusual power to control insects comes in handy when she is psychologically brutalized in a nightmarish Swiss boarding school. Two vicious teachers and students who constantly taunt her out of jealousy, make Jennifer’s life at school an inferno.
