In this Italian splatter film, director Lucio Fulci plays a horror filmmaker who goes to a psychiatrist because the types of films he makes are starting to disturb him, he suspects that his German producers are Nazis, and he believes he may be a killer himself. Much of the movie consists of clips… More

Critic Reviews

  • Scott Weinberg, FEARnet

    More of a worthwhile curiosity than anything resembling one of Fulci's best films.

  • Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion

    Fulci's splatter meta-comedy is founded equally on sardonic censor-baiting and the true confessions of a conflicted auteur

  • Luke Y. Thompson, LYTRules.com

    At times the movie feels like a sitcom "clip show," or a Corman-esque way to maximize the use of archival material. It is nonetheless an entertaining viewing, with Fulci doing a good job as "himself"

  • Bill Gibron, PopMatters

    Cat in the Brain is either the laziest excuse for a movie ever made by a true Italian giant, or one of the most unusual and unique films ever crafted by a fading cinematic icon.

  • Alan Simpson, Sex Gore Mutants

    extremely gory slice of lighthearted exploitation

    Delve into the mind of Lucio Fulci in this humourous self parody of the "father of gore" himself. It plays out like a giallo but this is not a film to be taken too seriously - this is all a bit of satire from from the director poking fun at his critics and his own career.… More

    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… More

  • A.D. V


    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.

  • El Hombre I


    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… More
