Some may deem Lucio Fulci's Nightmare Concert to be an extremely self-indulgent film, but the horror film is far more complex than that. Starring a pseudo version of himself as the main character, it follows Fulci's own film career as a horror director as he thinks himself increasingly unable to separate real life from the lives of those in his films.

Deemed to be a 'meta-film' by many, Nightmare Concert is not only extremely gory, but an exploration of the effects being a horror director has on one's psyche.
