'Aenigma' (1987) - Lucio Fulci.

Not unlike, Gianni Martucci's 'Trhauma' (1980), Lucio Fulci appropriates an equally Aenigmatic moniker for his creepy-crawly telekinetic terror treat 'Aenigma'. Employing a similarly skewed comatose killer to supernatural somnambulist Patrick, but luridly embellishing it with all the signature supernatural strangeness one expects from maestro, Fulci. Frequently disparaged by horror fans, Fulci's latter-day works routinely contain a bravura bounty of loopy set-pieces, bizarre exsanguination, and a bevvy of voluptuous terror totty! Scintillatingly slime-laden, 'Aenigma' snails along amicably with its squirrelly array of eerie EKG wrecking ESP insanity! Shot in the vivid twilight of his illustrious career, 'Aenigma' isn't just another witlessly misogynistic slasher, being a surrealistically sinister enigma from the revered high priest of horror extremity! 

Set in the cloistered collegiate confines of St. Mary's, an asinine 'elite' of grossly entitled girls nastily perpetrate a grievous prank upon the plain, altogether vulnerable, Kate (Mijlijana Zirojevic). This unleashes the pyrotechnic, preternatural plot, as the comatose, ostensibly brain-dead, Kathy begins to wreak her psychic revenge on the foul skeezers that did her so egregiously wrong! Unleashing her telekinetic tendrils within the increasingly beleaguered St. Mary's school, Kate's vengeful spirit possesses new arrival, Eva (Laura Lamberti). As the ruinous bodies of tormented teenage girls pile up like soiled syringes on, Amber Heard's yoga mat, the morally bankrupt medico, Dr. Robert Anderson (Jared Martin) soon suspects that he has manifestly boinked the wrong teenager!  

The oft derided 'Aenigma', while eccentric, has much to recommend it to the more exploratory splatter fan. Appreciated for its macabrely mollusc-centric idiosyncrasies, Aenigma boasts some truly bizarro Blood-spillage! It is a tad unfair to judge Aenigma against maestro, Fulci's iconic masterpieces, since its budgetary restrictions are quite obvious. That said, even a supposedly lesser Fulci provides more inventive slaughter than much of the blandly recycled fearless fodder of today. 'Aenigma' remains compellingly strange cinema, building to an unhinged, phantasmagorically tweaked crescendo. Charged by a thrilling, Carlo Maria Cordio score, his whimsical main theme will most assuredly hypnotise even the most synth-sceptic mind!
