Review of Maniac (1980) by Kristal C — 02 Jun 2008
The ultimate NYC grindhouse sleaze. Imagine walking home along 42nd Street after coming out of this film at 1:30 in the morning? Now THAT'S horror! Lustig presents what may be the scummiest vision of the city every committed to celluloid.
The only drawback is the silly romantic subplot. Seriously, Caroline Monroe going for the slobbering, sweating Joe Spinell? Please...however, the gore is top-notch, including what I have dubbed "The Best exploding head ever," which gives this film an entire extra star.
