A Cat In The Head; Nightmare Concert
In Fulci's homage to Fellini's 8 1/2, Fulci plays himself... playing himself. He begins to go crazy after decades of making some of the goriest horror films in history. He sees things that aren't there, distubing segments from his earlier films. And it certainly doesn't help that his psychiatrist is manipulating the situation in order to carry out his bloodiest fantasies. The story is so full of twists and turns, you are hard-pressed to tell the difference between reality, memory, and hallucination. It's a movie within a movie within a movie. It's a real mindfuck, and arguably Fulci's masterpiece. I think Wes Craven tried to do something similar with New Nightmare, but that movie was an epic fail.
A cat in the head. I think everyone can relate.
