Maniac (1980)

Although unknown to most Maniac is a "slasher" film that debuted in 1980 and is know to most who've seen it as the "Original Modern Day Slasher". This movie is actually a pretty descent movie for me to have only learned about it a few weeks ago. Any thought or comments?

What a nasty little flix. Some great gore FX and cameo from Tom Savini. I can't tell if Joe Spinell is a great actor or if he's truly insane. One of my favorite 80's slashers.

Unkown to who? Rember where your your posting this. This isnt a Star Wars forum.

I like it and everything, but how exactly is Maniac the orginal modern day slasher? This movie has almost nothing in commen with any other modern day slasher movies.

Dont take this the wrong way, but by reading your posts Id go so far as to say theres alot of "descent" movies youve never heard of.

OOOoo OOooo!



PS: I haven't seen 1980's Maniac.... hopefully Clockwork Black doesn't say anything mean to me. Horror Guy, you have just suffered the wrath of "horror nerd ire"... How dare you assume that a mass quantity of pathetic f*cks haven't seen this sh*tty movie... HOW DARE YOU!!! (*snicker*)
