i couldn not help but relish the entire premise of cat in the brain because it dutifully explain a director steadily go mad and see people murder from past movie he have make . even mundane activity such a cook a meal in the microwave or run a faucet of water yield some horrific butchery from a film in the past . director fulci playing himself and be direct ghost of sodom ( . ) and can not seem to deprive his mental well be from constant murder . he seek help from a psychiatrist who and instead and use fulci work a a method to execute a series of innocent people and hypnotize the director into think that perhaps he responsible . this be obviously a film playfully poke fun at fulci image and while explore the theme of how such a profession and which produce so much death and destruction and rarely untamed and could mold and shape a legacy . the film feature pretty much a wrap around story surround non stop graphic violence with every possible way to kill a woman express in grisly detail . this have a shower murder hitchcock never could direct and or probably want to . the film savagery compliment the mental state of fulci fulci ( . i know ) during the running time . reality and cinematic fiction have fuse and fulci can find no escape . the end ( . explain the old cliché representit only a movie ) couldn not work any good than it do here . fulci boat say perversion ( . excellent touch ) and he sail off . i can only wish this be his final film because that a perfect close if there ever be one . david l thompson be the deranged psychiatrist planning to kill his adulterous wife . jeoffrey kennedy be a cop fulci fear have a family murder by the fiend . the ultra violence in the film feature plenty of unique way to take a head off such a the door to a chest and a scythe and a chainsaw and and hatchet . the most brutal violence derives from nasty chainsaw activity a a dead body be hack to piece ( . how a gardener chainsaw work on a log fit beautifully in one nightmarish hallucination sequence ) . the most shocking use of a chainsaw be when a little boy get decapitate . the opening scene with the puppet cat tear away and feast on fulci brain and be a howler . the scene which be splice within the film and feature a horrified fulci look on and be obvious and but i couldn not help but enjoy this anyway .
