It's a shame that Connelly regrets making this movie. It's one of her best roles.

@EnterTheMold I'm right there with you.

@EddieEddieEddie90 That is because Clock Tower uses many elements and themes that were used in Phenomena. The character Jennifer was based on Jennifer Connelly in this film. Bobby, the scissorman killer, is based on the murderous boy with the deformed face in the movie (Patua). The crazy, insane mother is based on the one in this film (Frau Bruckner). And the scissors as the weapon was a references as the murder weapon used in the opening murder scene in the movie.

@EnterTheMold Can you tell me please, where and when did she tell that this film is a bad experience for her

This movie is one of my all time favorites (in the horror genre), with a unique dreamlike atmosphere combined with an excellent soundtrack!
Jennifer Connelly also looked so incredibly beautiful here, truly a revelation for the eyes, and her presence was essential in making Phenomena something really special.
If you want to experience the most complete version of Phenomena, then I recommend UK distributor Arrow's Blu-ray, which is the best looking release of this movie I have seen so far.

It'll only get a bad rap from young, generation X nitwits that wouldn't know art, or a good film if it were staring them in the face. Judging by it's influence on other films, and gaming (Clock Tower), it's obviously respected.

@martena2008 - Wel... actually... the movie did get some bad reviews, including - one of its' harshest - from Alan Jones, author of Profondo Argento, the guy who Bravo interviewed for their 100 Scariest Movie Moments show, did like 3 audio commentaries for Anchor Bay and Blue Underground, and claims that he's been on the set of every Argento film since Tenebre. Not to mention Connelly herself bad mouthed the movie on, I think, David Letterman a couple years ago.

@EddieEddieEddie90 That's because Clock Tower was heavily influenced by Argento, and they based Jennifer Simpson's appearance on Jennifer Corvino, who was played by Jennifer Connelly. Whew!

Maybe they saw the Creepers-edition? Never seen that version, but it's cut..

Reminds me of the girl in Clock Tower (snes game)
I don't get why Phenomena gets such a bad rap, it's my favorite Dario Argento film, and I'm a big fan of his work.

Actually it does not, Phenomena has been inspiration for a lot of producers
