Product Description:

Released in the US in heavily edited form as CREEPERS in 1986, Italian horror master Dario Argento's masterpiece manages to be involving and interesting while providing a steady stream of funhouse style shocks. Jennifer Corvino (Connelly) is attending a Swiss boarding school for girls when she discovers she is able to communicate telepathically with insects. When a serial killer begins murdering students, bug specialist Dr. McGregor (Pleasance) must help her use her powers to find the killer. With a soundtrack featuring Motorhead and Iron Maiden making the experience ever more disorienting, you won't know where Argento is taking you next. Check the run time, as many different versions exist (the 110 minute version is the most complete).

Plot Synopsis:

From Italian shockmaster Dario Argento comes this heavy metal-scored frightfest.
A schoolgirl in a Swiss academy becomes embroiled in a extrasensory world in which a psychotic killer lurks. Soon, she becomes his next target.
But this heroine learns that she has an unusual gift: a form of telekinesis that enables her to have mental communication with insects.
As the villain closes in, she calls upon an army of flies, maggots and cockroaches to help her defeat her enemy.
