    Ultra gory low-budget movie directed and acted by Lucio Fulci. In spite of its many faults (embarrassing acting, rough splatter effects, almost inexistent plot, ample use of footage from his previous works, and so on...), I really enjoyed this crazy and bizarre film.
    Fulci plays ...( read more)himself, or rather a horror director who after many years of making bloody and violent films begins to suffer from terrible hallucinations. He decides to contact a psychiatrist who, unfortunately, reveals to be a psychopathic killer.
    As Fulci himself stated, the movie was born as a joke and thanks to it, he could finally show his strong dislike for Psychoanalysis and reply with sarcasm and black humor to those theories which accuse horror movies of being a dangerous inspiration for murders and rapes.

    There's tons of juicy disgusting gore packed into this movie; gore-hounds should applaud. However, the story is lame and incomprehensible, making it hard to sit through. Some scenes were laughable. I admired how Fulci intercut new footage with scenes from other movies -- and am g...( read more)lad I haven't seen those other films, or the continuity would've been ruined. I wish the gnawing cat had burst out of Fulci's head in the final scene, rather than the lame Hollywood ending they chose.

    Tongue in cheek, black comedy gorefest starring Fulci as himself plagued by hallucinations from some of his worst films (ie Sodoma's Ghost).
    Fulci's last good & splattery film before he passed away in 1996.

    If you can't tell from the synopsis this is a really strange movie to watch. The plot of the movie is actually pretty thin and only serves as an excuse for the gore and mayhem that ensues, but the movie does such a good job keeping interesting scenes and kills on screen that I r...( read more)eally didn't have a problem with this. Really once the basic idea of the plot is out of the way it's one kill after another. I found it entertaining, so I'm not complaining.

    As long as you understand what you're getting yourself into here, you should be OK. Cat In The Brain is nothing more than a guilty pleasure to the highest degree. Many people will be turned off by the non-linear, non-sensical scenes and misogynist gore, but it's an interesting film, nonetheless.

    Lucio Fulci's New Nightmare. Years before Wes Craven wrote himself into a film as the director who is so awesome his work becomes real, Fulci wrote himself as a sleazy, psychotic mess. With clips from his lesser known films and an outrageous performance from Fulci himself I'm a...( read more)lways floored when Fulci fans say they hate this one.

    Wall to wall GORE. Fulci playing Fulci....what else would you want in a slasher flick?
  • June 9, 2009
    I would agree with everyone that the plot was pretty thin, poor acting and so on, but the gore was pleasable!
  • May 24, 2009
    Packed full of gore and a great story line, no wonder Fulci is on the top of my list of directors.
  • May 18, 2009
    Maybe Fulci's goriest, maybe Fulci's best. Maybe the most exploitive movie I have seen... I would tell you if i wasnt drunk the whole movie, it seemed like a beatiful collage of Fulci-isms and gore
