This is one of my all-time favorite Dario Argento films.
Released August 2nd in the US.
Filmed in Switzerland and Italy.
The story: A young girl is sent to Switzerland to attend an all-girl school.
Things are a bit strange, to begin with for her at the school.
But things get even stranger when she finds out that there is a killer on the loose in the area killing girls her age.
Soon she makes a friend with a doctor who studies insects and the girl finds that she has the ability to communicate with the bugs.
This ability, along with being a smart cookie, helps the girl solve the murder mystery that is hovering over the innocents at her school.
