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. Presented here fully uncut for the first time ever from a
stunning new 4K Restoration.
