Maniac - Slasher Classics Collection 50 Serena Grandi Zhao Wei (Shaolin Soccer) andFollowing the disturbing story of blue collar serial killer Frank (Joe Spinell), William Lustigs violent slasher movie has become a cult classic in the ranks of the horror film fandom. In a plot which weaves in elements of Peeping Tom and Taxi Driver this early 80s horror fully delivers both a chilling character study and a gory exploitation piece. Dark, grimy and oppressively claustrophobic Maniac remains a firm favourite and an unmissable shocker.
