I lover Jennifer!
I have had a crush on Jennifer Connelly for 30 years. She still looks great and has chosen many great roles over her career.

She is fantastic in this film about an unmotivated woman who gets tossed from her family home and then starts a conflict with the new owners because she feels they have unlawfully taken her home from her.

She befriends a deputy who decides to assist her in harassing the new owners until their conflict comes to a head.

Ben Kingsley and Shohreh Aghdashloo are also very good as the new homeowners who just want to be left alone.

The tense final half of the film is well worth the slightly slow moving first act.

Highly recommended.

Stylized 80s Italian horror at its finest
It's hard to believe Jennifer Connelly was ever that young!

Director Dario Argento's interesting tale of a young American girl with unusual powers who comes to attend a European boarding school is interesting and very unusual at the same time. After a series of murders, the girl has to decide if her abilities will help her or it's just time to get out.

The film's rock score is intense and backs up the ominous visuals and striking sets and lighting. Certainly campy by today's standards, it still is an entertaining watch for those who enjoy out-of-the-box storytelling.
