A Cat in the Brain
A Cat in the Brain
Dr. Lucio Fulci is a director of splatter films. He stages a gestapo-orgy like it was any other movie scene. But he is influenced by these things more than he likes. He is hunted by bloody visions day by day. Is Fulci still normal? He asks a psychiatrist. He doesn't know that the psychiatrist has much bigger problems than Fulci himself. The psychiatrist then uses Fulci's visions for brutal murders in real life as an attempt to frame him.

A vision into the mind of Fulci- literally. Riddled with filth, sex, gore, and sleaze cranked to the max. The man holds our eyes wide open to witness chainsaw mutilations, a nazi orgy, his own take on the Psycho shower scene, a child being decapitated, and of course his signature eyeball torture.
Because The Cat in the Brain isn't atmospheric like his other films, the story rears its cracks a little more and comes off repetitive. It doesn't help that he himself plays the lead as he's not a strong actor. I'll rudely assume he had to play the lead due to the rumors of how difficult he was to work with.
The sex and gore is what you've really come for though and there is plenty of quality in both to make this worthwhile.
