Really didn't seem much of a story, lucio fulci thinks he might be killing people so goes to see psychiatrist who is actually the killer and has lucio under his influence. But it just seems an excuse to have some very gory and brutal kills. 6/10

Next viewing I will be trying to see what's in the basket.
Shame you didn't seem to dig it too much - it's actually my favourite Fulci movie. That's pretty much a minority opinion, however. I just loved it from the moment I saw it, it's such a piece of unabashed cynicism, and seems to be about Lucio sneering at his audience with utter contempt. But it's also weirdly sophisticated (sort of, in an 'ideas' kind of way) for a grade z horror flick what with all the self-reflexivity and so forth in amongst the gore and the sleaze. Really odd film in many ways, not really that many like it at all, and I much prefer it to Johnny come lately postmodernists like 'Scream' and 'Cabin in the Woods'
