Review of Maniac (2012) by Leon B — 06 Jul 2013

Review:

This movie seemed like a cheap horror which was mostly filmed through the eyes of a serial killer who definitely has some issues. I don't think that Elijah Wood was the perfect choice for this role and I didn't like way that the movie was filmed through the killers eyes. I also found the movie quite boring and the music got on my nerves throughout the film. The ending was a bit over the top, along with the storyline which I found quite uninteresting. You do end up sticking with the movie to see what exactly happens to Elijah Woods character, but as I'm not a big fan of horrors, its not a film that I will be watching again in a hurry. Boring!

Round-Up:

What ever did happen to Elijah Woods career? After being the main star in The Lord Of The Rings franchise, he hasn't really come out with anything to reboot his career. The director of this film must have a warped mind, judging by some of the gory scenes in this film. As for the other characters, they all seemed very Z class, but I don't think that it would have made a big difference to the movie if they were any better. There is a very seedy feel to the film which I didn't like from the beginning and there are quite a few question marks with the storyline.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there thriller/horror movie, but don't expect anything amazing. 2/10.
