Dirty, sleazy, trashy, gory, & brutal. This movie is fucked up & I absolutely love it. Joe Spinell in an absolutely AMAZING performance. The pedo-breathing kinda freaks me out but he makes up for it with his fine acting as maniac Frank Zito. The subway scene with the nurse is the most suspenseful scene I've ever watched in a movie. Her emotions & reactions are almost genuine. Like the way she is trying to keep herself quiet & then once she thinks Frank is gone, the relief that sweeps across her face. Then *stab*. Savini blowing off his own head was probably the best head explosion that I've ever seen. Even better than the ones in Scanners. Amazing movie.

My girlfriend wanted to see this so we watched it last night. She ended up liking it quite a bit. I warned her that it had an overly sleazy, underground New York vibe to it but that didn't bother her. Glad she liked it. I know I still love this flick & Spinell's performance. Savini's effects are top notch in this. Oh & Mrs. Voorhees' headless body from Friday the 13th makes a cameo appearance too. Haha.
Wish we would've gotten to see Maniac 2: Mr. Robbie.
RIP Joe Spinell 1936-1989

What's scary is that there are guys out there like Frank Zito. Not necessarily guys obsessed with mannequins but guys that are totally messed up in the head like him.

I was trying to remember where I'd heard of Joe Spinnel before and realised he was the Loan Shark Rocky Balboa Worked for in "Rocky". Never been a huge fan of slasher flicks but it might be worth checking out.
