Ænigma (1987) (Italy/Yugoslavia)

⭐️⭐️⭐️


A comatose teen’s mind possesses a newcomer at the boarding school where she had her accident. Said accident was due to the combined bitchery of her fellow students and general awfulness of a sleazy fitness instructor. Looks like revenge is in the works and the prank that ended in head trauma will not be forgotten. Kathy (student-cum-vegetable) was never accepted by her schoolmates but who needs friends when you have telekinesis. New student Eva proves to be the perfect conduit for Kathy’s psychic revenge. Wonderful latter-days Fulci stupidity follows. A mute housekeeper with glowing red eyes, who is also Kathy’s mother, is hanging around acting all suspicious. Kathy’s doctor gets called in when Eva appears to have a nervous attack and she begins making googly eyes at him. Flesh eating fantasies, Tom Cruise, Snoopy, Sylvester Stallone, Yoda, awful humans, a slow death by snails, murder by statue, murder by reflection and plenty of footage of Kathy lying in her hospital bed with a monitor showing her brainwaves going all wonky. It’s all very dumb and oh so enjoyable.
