It honestly doesn't seem that bad, but it's produced by an Italian and very very 80s. Also, "it's perfectly normal for insects to be slightly telepathic."

Classic and totally bizarre Italian horror flick from 1984. It stars a very very young (too young) Jennifer Connelly, and Donald Pleasance. It's the horror film that keeps on giving, getting more and more bizarre as it progresses, and has a great 80s metal soundtrack.
Reason 1: ***IMPORTANT: INCLUDES MONKEY WITH A VERY RED BUTT***
Reason 2: Flies. Sooooo many flies.
Reason 3: Beheadings in ultra-nonrealistic slow-mo and heads that roll down streams.
BONUS Reason 4: A child becomes a bloated mutant. -

The monkey gives the best acting in the film,and he's also the best developed character,and Jennifer Connelly had to go for acting lessons in the 90s because her performance is just painful to watch. Also borrows elements from Suspiria,Argento's best

Directed by Dario Argento. Not one of his best. Needs a riff to make it enjoyable
