un gatto nel cervello and or nightmare concert a it more commonly know amongst english speaking audience and start a horror film director lucio fulci ( play by the man himself lucio fulci ) go to lunch after film a very gory and violent scene and however he order steak and have a horrible vision relate to cannibalism . the grotesque vision and hallucination and dream continue and begin to affect his mental state and fulci decides to seek help and contact professor egon schwarz ( dvid l. thompson ) for psychiatric help . schwarz claim that fulci can not separate fantasy from reality and agree to help him and however schwarz have a more sinister ulterior motive a a serial killer start to brutally kill prostitute and fulci think he might be responsible . this italian production be co write and direct by lucio fulci who also star in the film a a horror film director name lucio fulci which doesn not really feel like a lot of effort go into it and anyway un gatto nel cervello be gory if nothing else and for that alone i rather like it . the script by fulci and john fitzsimmons and giovanni simonelli and antonio tentori be nothing more than a threadbare excuse to edit together lot of gory footage from other italian film . it serve it purpose well enough i suppose and to see fulci on screen have a certain fascination if your a fan of his or be familiar with his film and the end be very rushed almost a if they run out of money a it just have a policeman tell fulci they kill the killer and that it . another thing about that end when the two cop put the white sheet over the dead killer in the field and then they walk away leave it there without any other police presence and i mean would the police in italy just leave a dead body in the middle of a field on it own . it move along at a good pace and if you like your gore then you have to see this although if you do not like gore then you will hate it with a passion and it all depend on your disposition so the choice folk be yours . director fulci be never the most artistically adept filmmaker and it show here a his footage be bland and flat and look like it be shoot for tv and the footage from the other film ( 7 in total ) doesn not match the stuff fulci shot and it be obvious that this have be piece together from different film . if your look for gore you have hit the jackpot and people be dismember with chainsaw and put through meat grinder and face be melt and there be a few decapitation and there be some slit throat and someone body be gorily crush under a car and a tongue be rip out and someone have their throat crush a a wheelchair run over it and there be load of stabbings and someone have their gut remove with a hook and there a rotten corpse complete with maggot and someone hand be cut off and someone have their head bash in and their eye fall out and a gory death by piano wire a it slice through someone throat and there be load of severed limb and gallon of blood splash around and a scene of some cat eat brain and there more as well . have say that some of the special effect be a bit fake and look cheesy . with a supposed budget of around $ 100 and 000 it show and this be pretty cheap look and it have no visual style or artistic merit but then again why would you want those when you can see a nazi orgy sequence and wall to wall gore . the acting in this be terrible include fulci . un gatto nel cervello be a top film if your a gore hound like me and however if your look for something with a little bit more substance or indeed any substance then this one not for you . this be the sort of film which divide people straight down the middle and you will either love what it do or hate it .
