Maniac! (1980). With the exception of some of the worst acting that i have seen in a while, this was actually a great movie. The lead character, played by Joe Spinell, was chilling in its portrayal of a madman. Told from the point of view of the killer, we get to hear some of the inner dialogue that this psycho intrigues in, and this was probably more frightening than the actual kills. There are plenty of great gore scenes, especially for its time, with of course the one infamous scene that is still pretty shocking. The sound track was perfectly over the top, the direction was fine, and the camera work was splendidly playful. All in all a good time for the dedicated sicko. Ashe.
