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. 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.

Very gritty and gory flick indeed, but also one of the best of its kind. The character Frank Zito is brilliant played througout the movie, and the special effects are still today top class.
I think an sequal was filmed, or was planned, but never gotten out, a shame. Would love to see it.

A promo was filmed but Joe Spinell passed away before they could make the movie. He was supposed to play a children's television show host who killed abusive parents of the fans of his show. youtube.com/watch?v=edJS_t0F7b8

Its shame they did wait 9 long years to start begin on a sequel. Do you know if this footage was included on a special edition?

Looks like its hard to get hold on that version.
Have an region 2 version of Maniac, but I'm sure its been cutted by a couple of minutes, as some of the scenes includes in the trailer on You Tube, but not in the movie.

I have the Anchor Bay version. The Blue Underground edition that came out not too long ago is the same as the Anchor Bay version. Just ported over.

Congrats! That's really awesome.
That Tom Savini story is hilarious. I can see him cleaning up after crying by pulling out his switchblade mustache comb from Dawn of the Dead & combing away.

I saw this a few months ago, at night, by myself, I was creeped out to say the least. The extra`s were fucking great too, the audio commentary is funny especially when Tom Savini complains about the way his nose`s looks any time he`s on screen. It`s actually getting remade with Frodo from Lord Of The Rings in the lead.
