| Tagline: | Everybody knows Lucio Fulci is crazy. But is he crazy enough to commit murder? |
| Favourite line: | "Sadism, Nazism; Is there any point anymore?" |
Though far from Fulci's best work - you have to go back 6 or 7 years for that I'm afraid - this is still an effective shocker, which actually manages to be post-modern before that became the norm post 'Scream'. Fulci plays himself, a horror movie director who is being terrorized by a serial killer who is slaughtering his victims in a copycat of the gory deaths of people in Fulci's movies. That's all there is plot wise, but, as ever with Fulci's work, this is about the gore set-pieces, and they are excellent. Beheadings, eye poppers, chainsaws, we get the lot here. Fulci is adequate in his role, but be warned, there is the usual level of misogynistic content on display, as he is notorious for. Not his best, but far from awful.
