Mid-Week Movie Massacre: Massacre (1989)

Italian horror from director Andrea Bianchi, who also directed the 1981 horror Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror, among many other Italian horrors. It tells the story of a movie director who hires a medium to hold a seance as part of a movie he's making. Unbeknownst to the cast and crew the medium unleashes the evil spirit of Jack the Ripper, who takes possession of one of the cast. Who then starts going on a gory killing spree.

Produced by Italian horror legend Lucio Fulci, the movie is padded out with kill scenes from Fulci's own past and future movies, including A Cat In The Brain, which was made around the same time as Massacre. This is low-budget schlock Italian horror at its border-line best/worst. Actually, it may be best to just go watch A Cat In The Brain, and see the same kill scenes wrapped in a better movie. But then again for obscure cult Italian horror, why not stick with the "source" material. Purely based on this one coming out first out of the two movies. Though it is likely that footage used was filmed for the latter movie.
