Synopsis

Lucio Fulci, known for Italian horror cinema, appears as himself in a story where his career producing graphic horror films begins to affect his mental health, leading him to be haunted by the grotesque images he has created. His psychiatrist, Egon Schwarz, hypnotizes Fulci and uses him as an instrument to enact his own disturbed fantasies, aiming to destroy the filmmaker’s reputation.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
