Product Description

Italian horror. A horror film director (director Lucio Fulci playing himself) is being stalked by a serial killer who is modelling the killings on gory death scenes from the director's movies. Fantasy and reality blur as decapitations, stabbings, dismemberments and chainsaw attacks plague him in nightmarish re-enactments of all the most horrific moments of his repertoire...

3.0 out of 5 starsEnjoyable little horror flick
By Shred Head Dan on 7 July 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Bought this not expecting much really but I was quite surprised!The only other Fulci film I have seen is "The Beyond" which I thought was pretty disappointing....and as that is considered by many to be his masterwork I didn't care to look any further.But as a self-admitted gorehound I thought I would give this one a go(knowing at the very least there would be some gruesome thrills).It is actually a pretty cool film!I mean,some of the effects are dated and the acting/dubbing is questionable in places but this is one of those situations where this all works in the film's favour.It gives it a certain charm.
"The Beyond" has all these things but the repeating,somewhat atonal piano melody REALLY gets on my nerves(plus I am a pretty serious arachnophobe so it loses points for the spider scene-which I can't actually watch!).The music in this film is great though,it is quite rock-orientated with lots of nice guitar work(I'm a guitar-nut so I'm admittedly biased!).
The gore is splashed about all over the place!...there are some really great,juicy effects sequences that, like I said,are somewhat dated but still conceptually pretty nasty(aswell as the usual Fulci eye-mutilations which always make me laugh!).In fact,almost straight away we see a cat-puppet clawing away at loads of squishy brain-matter.....they just don't make 'em like they used to!!!!
The story is cool aswell and Fulci is actually not that bad in front of the camera!The guy who plays the psychiatrist/murderer does so in quite a cheesy,pantomime way which just adds to the fun.Speaking of that guy,his secretary is DAMN sexy(anyone who has seen "Demons" will immediately recognise her,as she is one of the leading girls-the one with the curly hair).Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsHorrible,horrible film from a great director
By Mr. Russell C. Witheyman on 6 Sept. 2006
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
As a life long Lucio Fulci fan i feel compelled to say that this movie proves his career definitely ended on a whimper instead of a bang, though not his very final movie (that would be the equally terrible "Door into silence") this proves that the maestro had lost most of his magic by this point and was running on fumes!

This does have some special significance for fans though as it actually stars Fulci playing himself as a horror director plagued by visions of his movies and all sorts of mayhem with a killer on the loose. None of Fulci's camera style,visual flair and mood permeates this film, it's like a frozen Fulci movie, it looks really good but somehow the flavour has been lost in the process. From 1990 onwards Italian movies were mostly dreadful anyway and this is no exception, the idea for the movie is actually pretty cool and had Fulci directed this 12 years earlier he might have sprinkled his magic on it but by this point in his career his movies were devoid of his earlier brilliance (a noticeable exception being the underrated "Voices from beyond")

The movie has lots of clips of previous Fulci films and the whole thing feels like a wasted cut n paste job and when you see those clips you realise how much better those films were. The dubbing is also very poor even by their standards

The UK disc is ok but if you really do like this movie enough (which is probably a long shot!) then get the U.S Grindhouse release as they really give it the deluxe treatment with a nice transfer and tons of special features.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsNightmare Concert.
By Puzzle box on 28 April 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
"Un Gatto nel Cervello"/"Cat in the Brain" is probably one of the goriest horror movies ever made. It's a series of extremely violent sequences knitted together by a plot that feels more like an overview, describing director Lucio Fulci's most notorious years of film-making. The movie could also be seen as a dark comedy of sorts, effectively spoofing the various claims that violent cinema causes violence in real life. Fulci goes even further than that and casts himself as the star, the central figure of the film showing the audience who is the man behind all the cinematic gore. "Cat in The Brain" is not about presenting a clear story and following it. Instead it pokes fun at some of the clichés that have been surrounding the horror genre for years. Lucio Fulci plays himself as a horror director struggling to keep his humanity intact. Years of violent film making have finally began to reach him. It starts slowly, steaks and meat in general begin to disgust him, his colleagues assure Fulci that all he needs is some rest. But that doesn't help and soon the grotesque ideas for his movies begin to overwhelm his daily thoughts. In an attempt to find a cure for his dangerously maddening mental state Lucio starts going to the local psychiatrist. Unfortunately that does more wrong than good and Fulci is thrown into an even bigger mess, as the psychiatrist turns out to be a psychopath, who mimics the murders from Fulci's films in real life.

The film retains all the trademarks of Italian splatter cinema, good or bad they are all here. So any comments about the acting or the technical aspects and budget constrains are quite irrelevant as to the quality of the film. It is a visual experience, no doubt about it.Read more ›
