Yes, this is the one with the "intestines scene".

Teleporting Zombies! Hanging priests! Bleeding eyes! Organ regurgitation! The plot is meaningless and the characters senseless. But these are pluses for films in this cycle.

The very epitome of giallo; Fulci's masterpiece, but also among the worst films I've ever seen.

Drink less [than six beers], you'll be bored with the nonsensical plot. Drink more, you'll probably vomit when you see a girl in the movie literally puke her guts out.
