So I thought maybe this is an idiom/expression I haven't heard of before, but google suggests otherwise. So it apparently is "only" the film title of this Lucio Fulci ... therapy session. Therapy session for Fulci himself that is. Although I'm not sure one can say it makes away with all the anxieties, fears and general problems one might have.
Still this feels like Fulci did this more for himself, while still being able to titillate people and make a movie that is disturbing. Now there doesn't seem a clear message (as in, did he have those demons in real life, is just complete fiction, how does he really feel about all this?) and I don't think he made it clear in his interviews either, what his feelings are. But then again, maybe that got lost in translation ... whatever the case, there is another movie that might have been a bit ahead of its time back then, but is way dated now ... So while it does have its merits, the point is brought home quite early and the rest is just some effects and nudity thrown in for good measure ... or bad measure, depending on your take ...
