That's not the same Maniac that this is a remake of. I think you watched Sex Maniac (1934), which also goes by the name Maniac. Yeah, that movie is total cheese-fest, but a fairly notable exploitation classic.

This film is a remake of the 1980 shocker, which is also a classic, but one that doesn't suck.
