PLOT:
"- A schizoid serial killer randomly stalks and kills various young women in New York, which he sees as revenge for the mistreatment he got while being raised by his own abusive mother."

Image

O FILMU:
- "Maniac" is one of the most visceral examples of the horror genre.Along with Romano Scavolini's "Nightmare"(1981)it is one of the most disturbing horror films ever made.The killings presented here are cold-blooded,extremely brutal and gory."Maniac" in its almost pornographic depiction of violence makes any "Friday the 13th" film look tame.Joe Spinell is perfect as a maniac killer Frank Zito,who graphically murders and scalps his victims

- Ultra-creepy, trashy, and sleazy horror outing - truly one of the most depraved shockers ever made - an almost plotless movie about overweight, un-handsome middle-aged man (character actor Joe Spinell, in the performance of his career) who was regularly abused as a child and symbolically takes revenge against his mother by slaughtering young women and then removing their scalps and placing them on his mannequins

Image

- This is, frankly, the most disgusting film I've ever seen - and I've seen a lot. So I'm amazed, and a little frightened, that so many people have rated it highl

- There's nothing redeeming I can find in this sick, depressing slasher flick. Unless you're a diehard fan of Tom Savini (who did the effects makeup) or you have no love for the human race, avoid this movie like the plague.

Nije me Bog zna što film oduševio, u nekim dijelovima mi je dosadan, dijalog nikakav ko i općenito gluma koja je jako loša, radnja je mogla biti malo bolja, ubojica je sasvim ok s tim nekim čudnim pogledom i glasom, ubojstva su kvalitetna, Savinijevi efekti su više nego sjajni, kraj je dosta dobar, 6.5/10. Što se tiče jel film slasher, vidim da dosta lista, stranica, ljudi, itd... po internetu ga rangira kao slasher, ima opet elemente toga, al opet nije daleko ni splatter žanr, tako da možda nešto između bi najbolje bilo definirati.

Apsolutno se slažem sa svim navedenim.

Pa sljedeći neke stereotipe, ovo nije slasher, već jedna horror kronika i profil psihopatskog uma. Cili film je ka njegova Odiseja masakra i iživljavanja s jako efektnim krajem koji stavlja točku na i. Ali opet, i final girl je tu, i sve u svemu, nije greška natzvat ga slasherom, ali triba imat na umu da se radi o specifičnom uzorku, gdje se priča odvija iz lica ubojice.
I think human consciousness, is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself, we are creatures that should not exist by natural law.

slažem se 95% sa Ghostfaceom samo ga nikada ne bi ubacio pod slashere - primarno radi toga što se film fokusira na psihološko stanje ubojice, što nije baš odlika slashera.

U ovom filmu mi je mozda najdrazi ubojica ikad :D
Super film, premda bi ga ja u globalu utrpao u slashere više nego igdje drugdje.
