A Cat in the Brain 1990  R, 87 min.
Genre: Foreign / Horror
aka: Midnight Concert
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Lucio Fulci, David L. Thompson, Jeoffrey Kennedy, Malisa Longo, Ria De Simone, Brett Halsey, Sacha Darwin, Robert Egon, Shillett Angel, Paul Muller, Paola Cozzo, Layla Frank, Georgia Moore, Marco Di Stafano, Maurice Poli
Director Lucio Fulci plays himself and is in the midst of making his new horror film. Unfortunately, he is going mad from all the gore he has created on the screen. Maybe a trip to a psychiatrist would be a good idea. Whoops, it wasn't a good idea because the psychiatrist (David L. Thompson) is worse off than Fulci and uses Fulci's visions to create real gore. About as bloody as it can get, with many clips from his earlier films.
