"3.2. Blu-ray New York -sleazen pahamaineinen legenda on minusta aivan vakavasti otettava traumatisoituneen mielen kuva, josta varmasti olisin saanut enemmänkin irti, mikäli olisin saanut mahdollisuuden siihen keskittyäkin. Päähahmo, jonka murhailua ja tunnontuskia seurataan, on vähemmän viehättävä ilmestys, mutta samalla oudon kiinnostava tapaus. Vähän kuin itse pimeä ja räkäinen elokuvakin, 16 millisen filmin loistossaan. Tom Savinin tehosteet totta kai kultaa. Slasheristä puhu"
" Frank Zito misses his mother, who was killed in a car accident years before. She was abusive to him, and made money selling her body, but Frank still misses her. He tries to keep her from leaving him, and reform her evil ways, by killing young women and putting their scalps on mannequins which he displays around his apartment.

"Don’t go out there! I warned you, not to go out there, tonight!"
"Re-watch - Oct. 24th Just a thought: Joe Spinell was never going to be your typical Hollywood leading man, so I'm glad he hooked up with Bill Lustig to make this film (which Spinell also wrote) and got a chance to be the lead in a film tailored to his strengths. "
" Date: 8/19/2020 Viewed: Blu-Ray Re-Watch Note: This movie recently turned 40 years old and I felt like it was the perfect time to revisit this movie again. I watch the 4K restoration from the recent special edition Blu-Ray, both the picture and sound were wonderful. I know there is a 4K UHD release now, but I don't feel like double-dipping at the moment. After watching this movie again, it gets better with every viewing. Maniac is a great character study movie that people tend to overlook i"
