Horror movie fans, get ready for a treat! On March 14th, Synapse Films will release Phenomena in stunning 4K UHD. The new release features all three versions of the movie – the original Italian version, the International cut, and the U.S. “Creepers” cut, which are all newly restored in 4K with Dolby Vision. The film’s soundtrack is just as impressive, featuring music from Goblin, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Andi Sex Gang, Bill Wyman, and Simon Boswell.

Phenomena tells the story of Jennifer Corvino, played by Oscar winner Jennifer Connelly, a sleepwalking teen with telekinetic powers who is sent to a Swiss boarding school by her famous actor father. Jennifer soon finds herself embroiled in a series of gruesome murders and sets out to unravel the mystery with the help of an entomologist, Dr. McGregor, played by Donald Pleasence, and his chimpanzee Inga.
