GRINDHOUSE RELEASING BRINGS LUCIO FULCI’S CAT IN THE BRAIN TO THEATERS & BLU-RAY!

The Most VIOLENT Movie Ever Made – Starring Godfather Of Gore Lucio Fulci!

Earlier this year Grindhouse Releasing released what is arguably the best Blu-ray of the year in Pieces. On July 12th they’ll be following that up with a release of Lucio Fulci’s Cat in the Brain! That’s one hell of  a follow up! Much like Pieces, Cat in the Brain will also be available in two versions – standard release and a special collector’s edition release. The collector’s release will be limited to 3,000 copies that will include a glow-in-the-dark slipcover and an original portrait of Fulci created for this release.

If you want that collector’s release you MUST pre-order from DiabolikDVD. These editions are expected to go fast and Diabolik customers will receive first priority. If you want to best guarantee you get the special release then Diabolik is the way to go. It’s possible you can get the collector’s edition from Amazon or similar retailers but it will in no way be guaranteed.

As an added bonus DiabolikDVD will be offering a special bundle that includes the Blu-ray and the official Lucio Fulci bobblehead from Cult Collectibles. There will only be 500 of these available and the bobbleheads will be numbered. Please visit DiabolikDVD for more info on that special bundle.

In addition to this new Blu-ray release, the film will be playing in theaters all across the country. Below the Blu-ray features you will see a full list of cities with planned screenings. If the movie is playing in a city near you I highly recommend checking it out.

Synopsis:
CAT IN THE BRAIN is a psychological masterpiece in the tradition of such cinematic classics as PSYCHO, STRAIT-JACKET, ERASERHEAD and Fellini’s 8 1/2. Acclaimed Italian horror maestro Lucio Fulci, director of ZOMBIE and THE BEYOND, stars in this blood-soaked epic as a director being driven insane by his own movies. Fulci is thrust into an ultra-violent nightmare of death and depravity where murder and madness consume his sanity in a vortex of violence.

With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
