Review of Maniac Cop (1988) by Tony P — 10 Nov 2016
Slasher horror from 1988 that follows a 'Maniac Cop' killer amongst the ranks of the New York Police Department.
The film follows the familiar story of some mad killer killing at random with the gore factor to keep momentary attention.
At times I felt I was watching an episode of an eighties cop show like Miami Vice with the cheesy soundtrack and at other times The A-Team with station wagons flying through the air in slow motion.
The cast includes Bruce Campbell who is better known for The Evil Dead films.
I barely recognised the rest of the cast who no doubt were extras on various television shows of the period like Cagney and Lacey!
I didn't care about the characters at all even when they were being calliusly murdered by some crazy fool.
What surprised me even more is that the film spawned sequels!
Oh well another horror ticked off.
