Comedy, Horror

The master of Italian horror, Lucio Fulci, stars as... Lucio Fulci, a filmmaker with a reputation for gruesome horror films. His body of work has started to plague his mental state, and he is haunted by the grotesque set-pieces his mind has conjured up during his career. His psychiatrist, Egon Schwarz, uses a hypnotised Fulci as an avatar to carry out his own disturbed fantasies, in hopes of ruining the master’s reputation once and for all.

Plot

Dr. Lucio Fulci is a director of splatter films. He stages a gestapo-orgy like it was any other movie scene. But he is influenced by these things more than he likes. He is hunted by bloody visions day by day. Is Fulci still normal? He asks a psychiatrist. He doesn't know that the psychiatrist has much bigger problems than Fulci himself. The psychiatrist then uses Fulci's visions for brutal murders in real life as an attempt to frame him.
