Movie Reviews of Maniac
Movie Review: Mixed up and confused
Summary: 1 Stars
I'll preface by stating that I am generally a huge fan of schlocky B horror films.
This movie has some decent gore and sick murders, but the premise is muddled and follows no logical order. The reason we are given for the Maniac's craze seems tacked on. There is no evidence to support it throughout the entire film. If there was more exposition it might have come out better but all we get is a poorly acted nutcase going around killing people with a quick "this is why" at the end.
The acting is mediocre, the story is lacking, the writing sucks. The worst part is watching with the director's commentary. He seems to think he was creating a gift to the genre and the entire film industry. He is dead wrong. Usually when I find a DVD in the $5 bin I can forgive it no matter how bad it is. The director's pompousness put the icing on the cake, I would not recommend this film to anyone.
