Aenigma
Directed by Lucio Fulci
For his final horror hit of the ‘80s, writer/director Lucio Fulci combined elements of CARRIE, PHENOMENA and SUSPIRIA with the grisly surrealism of his own past classics for one last shocker: When a bullied student at a New England girls school becomes comatose after a prank gone wrong, her tormenters will suffer graphic telepathic punishment that includes the infamous ‘death by snails’ scene.

Very bored for a lot of it. I probably need to stop multitasking during these movies. I find Fulci as a director to be really into the very weird, very dramatic, very giallo style of film making. This movie was all of that and then some. It was easy to follow but still unhinged. I really don't know what to make of it. The description says it all.
Not one of fulci’s best, but decent enough. Snail kill is the only memorable thing here. Hate how Shudder only puts the English dub as an option on these old Italian flicks.
The inspiration for She’s All That.
Bad-bad, not fun-bad. Let me give my respect to Kathi Wise, the poor woman covered in snails in this dud's single memorable (but still boring) scene. This is her only credit on imdb and her featured picture there is her face 75% covered in snails.
bad? like really bad actually.
