This is a bad film. FACT. I wonder if those giving it good reviews are the actors who were in it. Surely, no one is that easily pleased. It does not bode well for the evolution of humankind if entertainment remains this dreadful, yet there are those who defend it.

I just don't understand the positive reviews of this film. Somebody please explain. I paid £5.49 on Apple TV to see something akin to watching cheap American documentaries on freeview. There was nothing here to grip me. I'm now going to bed, and I'm certain I'll forget I even watched it before I fall asleep.

I'm not usually interested in remakes, but in the case of most Argento films, I welcome the opportunity for one reason. I can easily buy into the artistic imagery, and reasonable plot lines. No problem there. However, what irritates me, beyond words is the utterly appalling acting. I'm no expert, but this appears to be a theme that runs through his films, almost worn like a badge of honour. For me, Phenomena was only partially saved by Donald Pleasense.
