#Phenomena movie series

With the ordeal over, Jennifer and Inga embrace. Before she can murder Jennifer, a wrathful Inga attacks Brückner and kills her with a straight-razor in retribution for McGregor's death. A severely injured and disfigured Brückner decapitates him from behind with a metal sheet and confesses that she murdered McGregor and Geiger out of fear that harm would have befallen her and her son. Jennifer reaches the shore just as Morris appears. Jennifer is also forced to jump into the water as the leaking petrol ignites, whereupon the child grabs her, but he is immolated by the flames. Jennifer summons a swarm of flies that attack the killer, causing him to fall into the water. He chases Jennifer onto a motorboat and tries to kill her with a spear, which perforates the boat's fuel tank and causes a leak. Jennifer finds Brückner's son, who has a hideously deformed face. Brückner taunts Jennifer, but Geiger frees himself and furiously beats Brückner long enough to let Jennifer escape. There, she finds Geiger and falls into a pool infested with maggots and dead bodies. She leads him to the basement and imprisons him.Īfter waking, Jennifer engineers her escape through the basement. Geiger arrives and questions Brückner, who confirms that she had worked at the Basel mental hospital and been raped. She attempts to call Morris but is knocked unconscious by Brückner. Brückner insists that Jennifer take pills before she goes to bed when she does so, she becomes sick and, assuming that the pills are poisonous, coughs them up. Upon arriving at Brückner's house, Jennifer notices that all the mirrors are covered, with Brückner explaining that she has a son who cannot stand to see his own reflection. Meanwhile, Geiger's investigation leads him to a mental hospital in Basel where he learns that a former staff member had been attacked 15 years before by one of the male inmates. He alerts Brückner, who offers to let the girl stay at her house overnight. With nowhere left to go, Jennifer calls her father's lawyer Morris Shapiro to take her back to America. That night, McGregor is murdered in his home. The fly leads her to the same cottage Brandt had found earlier and Inspector Geiger talks to the real estate agent in order to learn the identity of the house's previous occupant. Jennifer flees to McGregor's home, where the entomologist gives her a glass case with a Great Sarcophagus fly, suggesting she use it to find the murderer's lair. Convinced that Jennifer is 'diabolic' and possibly responsible for the killings, the headmistress arranges for her to be transferred to a mental hospital. Later, when the other students taunt Jennifer over her connection to insects, she summons a swarm of flies that covers the entire building, then faints. He theorises that the killer is a necrophile who has been keeping his victims close to him post-mortem, unintentionally collecting the maggots on himself. She shows it to McGregor, who identifies the maggots as the larvae of Great Sarcophagus flies, which are drawn to decaying human flesh.

Jennifer sleepwalks again and is led by a firefly to the scene of Sophie's death, where she finds a maggot-infested glove. The following night, the murderer kills Sophie, mistaking her for Jennifer as she is wearing the same sweater she wore when she witnessed the prior murder. The procedure makes Jennifer uneasy when she gets brief visions of the previous night's events. Back at the academy, the headmistress has Jennifer medically tested via EEG for her sleepwalking. Upon noticing the affection his captive insects have for Jennifer, McGregor comes to believe that she has a telepathic link with them.

She awakens and flees into the woods, where McGregor's chimpanzee, Inga, finds her and leads her to him. While sleepwalking through the academy and out onto the roof, Jennifer witnesses a student being murdered.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Corvino, the daughter of a famous American actor, arrives at the Swiss Richard Wagner Academy for Girls, chaperoned by Frau Brückner, who places her with roommate Sophie.
