Rating:  - "Scenic" Pleasure.
I could go on and on with best of you about how profound and relevant the main characters mental state is. But to be honest the real reason I believe this movie deserves a five star ranking is the noises the guy makes before a killing, because you know all serial killers make dog noises before every kill...
But seriously, the reason this movie deserves five stars is the fact that a guy gets a shotgun blast to the face and they don't spare any details in the scene. As you see all the ... Read More
Rating:  - 3 stars for the effect by tom savini
i got this movie becasue of the high praise it got on amazon.some of it was well deserved,like the praise for tom savini's sfx.but the story of the movie was kind of boring at times when hes not killing anyone.i eman its an ok movie that any horror fan should watch at least once,rent maybe unless you LOVE gore and blood then i say you should buy it.there are plenty of special features on the disc which is good and its directed by wiwlliam lustig(maniac cop,uncle sam)so if your a fan of his run and ...

Rating: - Cult classic for a reason
Despite being a cult classic Maniac is a movie that is far too overlooked in the horror genre as nothing more than a sleazy exploitation flick with no merits at all except the gore, which was done by Tom Savini.

Many deemed this nothing more than vile trash and looked upon as nothing more than 1 step above ... Read More
Rating: - Filth and mayhem
This has to be one of the sickest films ever made. You know what? I loved/love every minute of it. You can feel the sleaze rolling off of the screen and into your living room. You get the full feel of 100% grime and filth of the backstreets of New York. Joe Spinell is just amazing and the goddess with captivating eyes aka Caroline Munro is just always wonderful to watch. The music by Jay Chattaway gives an uneasy feeling to an already "know to be" uneasy film. Tom Savini does the ever wonderful special ... Read More
Rating: - He's a nut worth seeing
I first want to say that Blue Underground did a very good job encoding this film. The bitrate looked high and the colors were rich, as far as I could tell.
As for the movie, I have to say Joe Spinell did a fantastic job as the serial killer. His pockmarked face and crazy eyes really gave his character that extra creepiness which made the movie a good watch. It's amusing to see how Spinell's character can smoothly transition from a psycho-killer to an effeminate hairdresser who gives advice ... Read More
