Leave your thoughts about Maniac.
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceA formidable New York grunge-flick through and through |
| Boston PhoenixAlexandra CavalloToday's horror movies barely register once the credits stop rolling, but not so Maniac. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThough it's about as grungy as a film can get, it feels like a professional job, with a brisk flow and a hard, gritty, urban look and feel. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerAn unapologetically twisted study in pathological murderousness. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter Chawthe film about Travis Bickle that Travis Bickle would have made |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an underwhelming, uninvolving product of its time that simply possesses no relevance in 2010. |
| About.comStaci Layne WilsonThis old chestnut from 1980 is worth revisiting for fans of the nouveau 'old skool' horror films of today. |
| TV GuideTV Guide StaffThe sleazy embodiment of everything that was wrong with the ultraviolent slasher movies of the early 1980s. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesA loathsome exertion in perverse voyeurism. |
| User ReviewRingo Ejoe spinell's career-defining performance. top-notch makeup effects from tom savini. bill lustig's hypertense study in psychopathy stands up as one of the greatest slasher films of all time. |
