Rating: 4/5 -- Seen today, the movie has more in common with the grungy Times Square aesthetic of Abel Ferrara than with the multitudes of slasher flicks that followed it. Full Review

This old chestnut from 1980 is worth revisiting for fans of the nouveau 'old skool' horror films of today.

...[A] very convincing set of gore effects...

Good sense, if not heaven, should protect anyone who thinks he likes horror films from wasting a price of admission on Maniac. Full Review

Product Description:

A man who was previously abused by his mother takes out his frustrations on innocent women. He scalps them and uses their hair to make wigs for his mannequins. Upon its release in 1980 this film was accused by critics of taking the slasher film and its accompanying gore effects to new, unpleasantly graphic levels. Special effects were orchestrated by Tom Savini.
