CAT IN THE BRAIN (1990)

HEH HEH, SHE'S GOT A PEARL (AND BLOOD) NECKLACE, HEH HEH. OH. YUCK.


Some snot-nosed kid on Amazon called Lucio Fulci's 1990 gorefest CAT IN THE BRAIN "sloppy." Well, kid, sloppy ain't the half of it. There's a scene where somebody gets attacked with a chainsaw in the house and there's a splitsecond shot of someone picking up the saw FROM THE GRASS OUTDOORS! But God love him, little Lucio's having a ball with this film, he's like a kid in a meathook market. There's more gore here than at a Global Warming Seminar (that's a bad Al Gore joke), and even though it looks kinda fake by today's standards, the sheer joy and exuberance Lucio exhibits in his handling of it is hard to resist. If only today's bloodbaths (SAW and HOSTEL, I'm looking at you) were this much fun, kids today wouldn't be so screwed up. Oh that wacky Lucio Fulci!
