The movie follows the path of a young girl who has special abilities and the ability to communicate with insects. This girl was taken to a Swiss boarding school, where she began using her ability to summon insects to help a paralyzed scientist fight the dangerous monster.
If the Devil is the Lord of the Flies, what does that make Jennifer Connelly as a disturbed teenager who can telepathically communicate with the buzzing buggers?
Though Argento's plot is often confused and grotesque, he has a remarkably energetic visual style (mobile camera, slow-motion, careful lighting, creative editing) that is never boring.
so over-egged is the story with police procedural, insect science and paranormal events that squaring the circle of all these clashing frames becomes a disorienting thrill with heady pleasures of its own.
