The opinions of this film is very divided among Fulci fans but I think this is one of Fulci's best films post 1981. After Devil's Honey, Door to Silence, New York Ripper and House of Clocks this is the best/less worst of Fulci's later films.
This film is actually the only film that Fulci wrote 100% by himself and many people don't like this film and I can agree that it has a LOT of flaws and strictures but myself being the more theoretical and abstract conceptualist I found myself liking this film much more than for example Sodoma's Ghost or the odiously overrated Aenigma which are some of the many later films of Fulci that I cannot even approbate.
Fulci exerts two of his most passionate problems and hates in this film; women and wealth but apart from his playfulness denigrations of these there are more elements in this films that are a little autobiographical about this film. For instance, Fulci tries to allegorically depict his own anguish and frustration of feeling like a lost soul and in a more or less comic manner renders, not a literally split, but the feeling of secession of spiritual, intellectual and emotional attributes which consummates you as uncomplete and unbalanced.
This movie could have been way better both in style and narrative vivacity with better producers and tools like he had between 1966-1981.
