McGregor’s pet primate and unofficial nurse. Amidst the grandiose lighting effects and the oohing-and-awing over the taboo of necrophilia (we did say, Argento, right?), we get to know Inga, Dr. McGregor (Donald Pleasence), they work to solve a string of murders plaguing the school for years. With the help of her wheelchair-bound, plot-convenient entomologist mentor, Dr. Jennifer Corvino (Jennifer Connelly) is an American student who shares psychic connections with-wait for it-insects. Director Dario Argento shamelessly mines this peril-dread in his bizarre horror-camp offering set in a prestigious Swiss boarding school for girls. Even though chimpanzees aren’t your average pets, Inga’s expressive eyes and heartwarming loyalty instantly fill the viewer with the same anxiety for her well-being as watching kittens trying to cross a busy freeway in the rain.
