"Creepers" is one of the most juvenile-written movies of our time. Argento is such a good director, there are scary scenes here, scenes you have never seen before.
Connelly is a little stiff as an American girl (also named Jennifer) who is sent to a boarding school in Switzerland, and becomes involved in solving a series of murders. Pleasence is wasted, as he always is, as bug doctor McGregor who befriends Jennifer.
There are two different good film ideas in the script. One is "A crippled bug doctor and a young student solve some horrific murders at a Swiss boarding school." The second is "A young student gets through her lack of friends by finding out she can communicate with bugs." Blending the two ideas is a serious flaw. There are parts of this that scared me to death, and parts where I yelled "oh, Dario!" because what he was giving me as a viewer was so poorly thought out.
I realize I saw the butchered 82 minute version of the originally titled "Phenomena" but there are plot points in here that are so beyond the reach of belief, they must be seen to be believed.
