Ænigma

OK, so Lucio Fulci's "Aenigma" - sometimes stylized "Ænigma" - is basically a retread of "Carrie", but it is one enjoyable movie. It's got just the atmosphere that one would expect in a 1980s Italian horror flick. And that one shot of Lara Lamberti! That gal must have had to beat boys off with a stick in high school! I notice that unlike the notable slashers from the US, Euro-horror movies of the '70s and '80s didn't spawn sequels (and there haven't been remakes/reboots). One might say that they stayed unique. Whatever the case, these are among the most fun that you'll ever have watching a movie. Another movie with a similar plot was Dario Argento's "Phenomena" (aka "Creepers"), starring a young Jennifer Connelly as a girl at a Swiss boarding school who develops the ability to communicate with insects amid a series of murders. Yeah, I wish that English had retained the Æ. I've always found it to be a neat letter.
