People seem to miss the point of this film (by miles judging by the other reviews). It's a classic study of the suffering, mental self-torture and delusions that drive people to become killers.As Frank Zito, a powerhouse performance from the late Joe Spinell is central to the plot as we see him agonise over his actions and his feelings toward his victims. His hatred of women stems for his childhood treatment at the hands of an abusive mother, so although he desires women, he turns violent the moment they challenge him.He falls for beautiful Anna D'Antoni (Caroline Munroe), and adopts a surprisingly urbane persona to attract her, all the while continuing with his nightly 'hobbies',

Maniac is a stange slasher movie as it is all from the view-point of the killer. I found this a bit dissapointing at first as the killer isnt exactly likeable and we just seem to see scenes of him killing women (mostly women) and nothing else. But part way through, he befriends a women who becoms another protagonist and I found the movie more interesting from here.There is quite a decent body-count in Maniac and the deaths that there are are quite bloody and a couple were very suspecful (especially the girl in the subway). The excellent gore effects were done by Tom Savini who also did the gore effects for the origional Dawn of the Dead and another slasher movie called Rosemary's Killer (AKA The Prowler).The DVD claims to be "uncut" but is infact cut by 54 seconds,

It is UNCUT.Us poor saps in the UK are missing 5 mins ...also NO extras whatsoever!!!!I have just finished watching this for the first time.(Glad I went for the projector!)and I am completly blown away!!!I'm enjoying watching a number of films from this era at the moment and this one really stands out for me.The gore effects are very well done (even on this UK version) -but (and this is unusual for the genre )I found the movie had depth...Joe Spinell gives an outstanding performance.It's a deffo a classic in it's own play ground and is worth a 100 toolbox murders , mutilators, dead end streets etcActually -I rather think this is nearer to Henry Portrait of a serial killer than the above mentioned
