MANIAC - 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION(2-DISC) (BILINGUAL) [BLU-RAY]

Details

• Release Year: 1980
• Genre: Horror, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Aside from John Carpenter's 'Halloween,' William Lustig's 'Maniac' is one of the best and most noteworthy examples of the slasher film. Released during the heyday of the genre's most successful years, the exploitation feature is pretty much like any other — a psychopath on a murdering spree, killing victims in a variety of graphically violent methods. But 'Maniac' stands out for being genuinely creepy and downright disturbing, and it's not only due to some very explicit imagery, the one area the movie is arguably best known for thanks to the gory wizardry of horror legend Tom Savini. The low-budget flick is actually good for turning genre convention on its head and trying a new, much scarier angle.
