Maniac -Slasher Classics #50

88 Films

Following the disturbing story of blue-collar serial killer Frank (Joe Spinell), William Lustig's violent slasher movie has become a cult classic in the ranks of the horror film fandom. In a plot which weaves in elements of Peeping Tom and Taxi Driver this early 80s horror fully delivers both a chilling character study and a gory exploitation piece.Dark, grimy and oppressively claustrophobic Maniac remains a firm favourite and an unmissable shocker.
