Movie Reviews of Maniac
Movie Review: sicko movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't have this movie, but I remember it very well. I was 18 years old when the movie first came out, and I went to a movie theater to see it by myself, and when it was over with, I went outside and stood in front of the theater waiting for my ride back home, and I couldn't stop shaking, and the lady in the box office kept looking at me, she must have noticed me shaking. IT wasn't winter time, but spring or summer, yet I was shaking very much. Even though I'm now 44 years old, I don't think I would care to see it again. It was the first slasher movie for me at that time, and seeing women getting scalped especilly bothered me. I rate it a 5 for scaring me like it did, and for how real it looked to me back then. If I were to watch it again now, it would be just to see how I could take it now, but I wouldn't let my two children watch it that's for sure, and I wouldn't want my wife to watch it either.Movie Review: Joe Spinell really must be this creepy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh, finally I got my grubby hands on this masterpiece! What a disturbing film! This sort of thing is why I watch horror. Maniac tells the story of a truly sick individual. As other reviewers have said though, what sets this apart is the performance of Spinell and the whole narrative structure. This is not merely another slasher flick - it's a study of an individual whose evil nature takes control of his, seeminly at times against his will.
Hearing this maniac breathing and grunting as he's watching his potential victims was probably more disturbing than the violence - and their's plenty of it here for the gorehounds (thank you Mr Savini!) and the shotgun scene is, well, a blast!
Reminded me of other classic serial killer films such as "Psycho" and "Henry" and deserves to be in any serious horror film lovers collection.
Movie Review: "Scenic" Pleasure.
Summary: 5 Stars
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 blood and bits fall as nothing so much as they end of his spinal column remains, pure cinematic gold. I would recommend this movie as entertainment for a young child's birthday party, as well as you the prospective reader buying it.
Movie Review: TERRIFYING!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie scared me to death - and no, not when I kid! I just saw Maniac and was absolutely terrified. I had no idea that I could still be this frightened by a movie. The story was actually pretty good (I was really surprised at that) and the acting from Spinell is amazing. Be warned though, this movie is GRUESOME. Parts of it are downright disgusting - but no more so then some of the things we've seen in recent splatter films. Maniac is sure to keep you on end of your seat until the very end (which by the way, is pretty awesome). Definitely check this out... If you think can handle it!Movie Review: Maniac
Summary: 5 Stars
I am the niece of the late Joe Spinell and I played "Denise" in the film. After 28 years, this movie is still ahead of its time. My uncle wanted to create something that would become a cult classic-which is exactly what this film is. Gory, disgusting, disturbing, slimy, chilling...nothing like my beloved uncle. So proud this movie is still appreciated. I recently went to a showing of "Maniac" and over 50 people came out to see it!!! It amazed me that there is still nothing like it being made.
