Maniac (US Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

A man who was previously abused by his mother takes out his frustrations on innocent women. He scalps them and uses their hair to make wigs for his mannequins. Upon its release in 1980 this film was accused by critics of taking the slasher film and its accompanying gore effects to new, unpleasantly graphic levels. Special effects were orchestrated by Tom Savini.

"...[A] very convincing set of gore effects..." - Lor. (Variety Film Critic), Variety, 02/04/1981

HOW IT ALL STARTED Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
If there were no Maniac there would possibly be no slashers that we know and love today. The whole genre started after this one. And I mean not those stupid kill-them-all flicks but serious thrillers that try to penetrate murderer's mind and also to play some of your own strings. Joe Spinell is brilliant, Tom Savini's effects are very good especially for that time (after scalping and head-shot scenes you'll want to rewind and see how it was done). And it's the atmosphere that will leave you meditative for the rest of the day (or night). It's so claustrophobic and sociopathic you'll actually feel yourself in maniac's skin by the end.
Also there's a very good documentary on Joe Spinell in this DVD edition.
