That's right, the boredom! This movies premise had such potential and Fulci could have made it into one of his all time best movies - but he chose to be completely lazy with it; featuring scenes taken from most of his earlier films and acting as the main character himself (possibly to save money) this just shows how little effort was put into the project. Through casting himself as the lead (Dr. Fulci) he seems to forget he's also the director of the movie... you can tell this by the way he acts in a complete daze throughout. It's difficult to tell if he's aware there is a camera in front of him, because honestly, he didn't give much of a performance at all. The film was probably shot entirely inside his own house, where, for the majority of the film we are treated to seeing him walk around his own home in that same completely clueless fashion. I do enjoy Fulci's work, it's just this one seems like 0 effort was put into it - making the viewing experience extremely dull and monotonous. All (most) of the gore effects (some completely terrible and others not TOO bad) seem to be taken from his previous work, adding to the question if he even cared at all about the project... Oh and there's a horrible soundtrack throughout the film with faded moaning in the background of a terrible track which plays through the vast majority of Fulci's screen time... seems to be his characters anthem or something.
Anyway, story was pretty predictable, acting: shocking, soundtrack: awful..... but check it out if you're a fan of Fulci. I mean you've just got to see it for yourself
