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.

Movie Review: Complete waste of two hours
Summary: 1 Stars

I had high hopes for this film after a cult film employee reccomended it while browsing through my favourite obscure titles. I was let down as Maniac is nothing more than a cheap exploitation serial killer bio-pic.

This is not your typical slasher as it is told from the first person, in this case it is mamma's boy played by Joe spinnel. He's whiney and obsessivley crazy, probably the most annoying antangoinst ever.

Granted there is the infamous 'point blank shotgun' scene but other than that, there is no entertainment value to this film unless you're a misgonistic lunatic. I was hoping the only saving grace to this film would be gratutious nudity but there is none thus not even making a true exploitation film.

Avoid this title like the plague.

Movie Review: Garbage pure and simple
Summary: 1 Stars

This has got to be the absolutely the sickest bottom of the heap horror movie ever made. You have been warned!
