the director of this movie, william lustig is involved with a dvd company that gives special attention to cult classic and b-grade horror and thriller films, called blue underground. just put out jan. 30, 2007 finally this under-rated brutally gory slasher movie can be seen remastered with tons of extra's.this movie stars the late joe spinell(who also wrote the screenplay)in the lead role as frank zito, the fx and makeup are done by the one and only tom savini, and the director of this film, william lustig(maniac cop trilogy,vigilante)should be in the movie hall of fame.
A classic film I saw when it first came out in 1980 but never sought it for my collection. And Stephen King lists it as one of his favorites!! Weird characters and the female empowerment at the end - fantastic "B" movie

Directed by William Lustig (the man who brought us the awesome Maniac Cop series) comes a brilliantly casted and written horror flick to enjoy for ages. Maniac has the greatest of the greats! Actor Joe Spinell takes us on a journey through the mind of a the very odd schizophrenic serial killer Frank Zito. With other great actors in the film such as Tom Savini (who also did the make up for the film), and actress Caroline Munro (who befriends the crazed killer later in the film)this movie is a hit! Filled with odd and guilty pleasures for horror and exploitation lovers alike! I highly recommend this film for all lovers of the genre! A+ in my book!
Joe Spinell is *ucking amazing!!!

I love horror movies! I'm a die-hard horror freak, But this one Honestly scares me. It is just creepy! But I do like to watch it and still have it scare me. Excellently acted. You really think Joe is a maniac. Great story line. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this one. It is a low budget film, but still a great one. If you have never seen it, Please give it a view. Hopefully it creeps you out as much as it does me.
very poor movie

This is another slasher flick about a man who scalps women, he then puts the scalps on mannequins inside his room. He seems to communicate with his dead mother just like norman bates. This movie is somewhat enjoyable and has just one good gore scene. If your really into the slasher genre I recommend but I have seen a lot better.
Wow. Just get the film! The shotgun blast scene with Tom Savini is legendary, not to mention the ghoulish serial killer who just irks you to death! This one damaged my psyche for decades! Three thumbs up!
