Fulci's final nightmare.
16 June 2019
Meta horror from legendary Lucio Fulci explores his own horror tropes from the perspective of himself struggling to cope with the movies he makes. No stone is left unturned as he turns every ordinary occurrence into an utterly horrific splatter. This was made a good few years before Wes Craven's New Nightmare did a similar thing, mixing real life with his creativity, here it is mashed up into a proto Final Destination style demo about the dangers of microwaves, whiskey bottles and psychiatry. Unrelentingly brutal and gory Fulci even has a poke at his critics while sawing off heads. Not for the squeamish but worthy of consideration. I would, however, like to understand why he seems to detest cats so?
