Finally got to see maniac! and I was pretty impressed. The movie was directed by William Lustig and is about this guy Frank who kills girls and scalps them, then takes their scalps and puts them on mannequins in his room. Basically the guy is a total Maniac, with split personalities and other problems.
The killings in this movie were pretty over the top. I thought the scalping scenes in Inglorious Basterds was bad, but this was just as bad, if not worse. One killing scene in particular that had me rewind and watch again, was when frank was in front of a couples car, and jumped on the hood and straight shot the guys face off with a shotgun. (picture below)
There were some shots that were really creepy in this film. One including a POV of the girl getting choked. So it was just Franks crazy grinning face. Another shot that stood out to me was when frank was scalping a girl, and there was another POV shot, but this time the blood from the girls forehead dripped down the camera. I thought that was pretty original.
Overall I enjoyed it. The acting was pretty horrible, but it didn't bother me to much. uhmmm yeah, also i thought it was funny, in the bonus material on the dvd, there was a section that highlighted all the horrible quotes from movie critics. Shows the filmmakers had a good sense of humor with the whole thing.
Also Frank, the main character, looked almost exactly like Ron Jeremy. haaahaaaaahaaha. yeah check this movie out if you enjoy senseless killings, brutal killings, psycho killers, EX-CET-TER-AH
