So, yeah, I think this is Fulci making the movie that his critics always accused him of always making, just to show them what that would REALLY be like.
Basically. I dunno. My brain hurts now. But it was worth it to see y'alls reactions. Till next time.
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
That is actually as valid a take as any other.
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
Fulci's boat is called "Perversion"?
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
Maybe my mind is totally gone, but I'm starting to see this as Fulci's Escape from L.A.
(I love Escape from L.A., incidentally.)

Partial Decapitation + Nip Slip. Judges?

Fulci's stumbling around the House of '70s Italian Horror Tropes and I'm just all...
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
After someone in this gets stabbed 100 times, run over a dozen times, etc., I keep repeating to myself: "I think you got 'em."
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
Sounds painful
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
Well, at least it references the movie's title... 🤪
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
Oh, nice. He has this thoughtful, baffled look throughout a lot of the film that I really like and find extremely relatable, and you captured it!
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
I think it's safe to say that Fulci's creative juices were just about spent by the time he made this. He only made three more movies after this one, after all.

My roomie just walked in and expressed the exact same sentiment. "THIS is 1990?"
"This is the state of the Italian film industry by this time" was my reply.
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
The music during this brutal murder scene is priceless. #FrightClub #ACatInTheBrain
1990s? I went to double-check that, and, really? 1990? This looks so '70s to me.

We used to have 110 likes on the feed and now there are 108 and I'm sad 🥺
People rarely deliberately unlike a feed, they don't think of it, so this probably means a couple accounts left Bluesky
They should've been hanging with us they might've liked it better

RUN TO THE SIDE
INTO THE TREES
YOU IDIOT
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
Oh wow it's so weird to hear a newscaster saying "prostitute"
1970s Americans would never
They'd have to find some sort of euphemism
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
It's always good to hear In the Hall of the Mountain King.
#FrightClub #ACatInTheBrain
Oh, wow, yeah. This would be a very odd introduction to his work!
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
Oh dang, I did not even realize but that is true 😂
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
Suddenly the soundtrack is giving Lost Boys realness
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
From a visual and practical FX standpoint, this film is crazy in so many good ways. #FrightClub #ACatInTheBrain
Off-topic: I have fresh mushroom ravioli in the fridge. Should I treat it like wonton and stir-fry in sesame oil with some napa cabbage, baby corn, red bell pepper, soy, garlic, and ginger?
Oh also, melting wax dead face! Drink!

Thanks for mentioning this bit of insanity @xenionx.bsky.social! I have no idea what's going on, but I'm enjoying it
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
I can only imagine if I watched this movie high. I would be even more confused. #FrightClub #ACatInTheBrain
I have questions about this psychoanalyst's ethics...
#ACatInTheBrain #FrightClub
A 'head full of clouds' is how I feel watching 99% of Italian horror. You're just getting to double down on it!
