Maniac1980

Horror Vault's take

Set against the grimy, rain-slicked streets of 1980s New York City, Maniac plunges viewers into the fractured mind of a deeply disturbed killer haunted by the ghosts of his past. Joe Spinell delivers a raw, uncomfortably intimate portrayal of a man whose psychological wounds have curdled into something monstrous. This is no slick Hollywood thriller — it is an unflinching, street-level descent into one man's escalating savagery. Grindhouse purists will find it essential; the faint of heart should look elsewhere.
