Maniac Movie Review | |
| Rank even on its own terms, it's the kind of inferior remake that also invites questions about the original's cult status. Guy Lodge-Time Out This is down and dirty genre filmmaking, and the various slaughters, excruciatingly detailed scalpings and other atrocities are no less gruesome because of the highfalutin approach. Megan Lehmann-Hollywood Reporter Slasher films have gotten more grisly, grimy and gruesome - but few earn the three R's: repulsive, repugnant and rank. Elijah Wood has left Frodo far behind. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate The hand-held camera work is impossibly dizzying. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve Maniac is an elegant and carefully crafted film, from start to finish. Staci Layne Wilson-Inside Horror Maniac is perfectly brutal, gritty, in-your-face horror with a film-noir bite, sporting a memorable performance by Elijah Wood that makes me wish horror films had their own Oscars-like event. Matt Donato-We Got This Covered An irredeemable exploitation horror movie that overplays its subjective POV conceit, "Maniac" will leave viewers cold. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com It's not enough to just mimic exploitation cinema, swallow its misogynistic conventions uncritically and call it an homage. Mary Clare Waireri-Fan The Fire I doubt if cult status is in the offing, but who predicted a future for Michael Powell's Peeping Tom? Philip French-Observer [UK] Aside from being an exercise in point-of-view cinema, it's not clear why French filmmaker Khalfoun (P2) bothered to remake the notorious 1980 slasher horror. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com This story was first told, much better, in 1980 - a real B-movie stunner. Derek Malcolm-This is London This Maniac may have artistic aspirations but it doesn't make the film any more palatable. Allan Hunter-Daily Express Maniac is excelled by a career-altering performance from Wood and an uncomfortable sense of realism that's vested - and maintained - throughout. Jamie Neish-HeyUGuys Far too busy doing the filmic equivalent of poking you with a stick to see how much you flinch, and unashamedly so. Ben Rawson-Jones-Digital Spy It's hard to escape the feeling that the whole film is just a nasty, voyeuristic exercise in titillation. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] I found it intestine-squishingly horrible, but also dreary. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Stylishly directed and superbly written, this is a genuinely chilling and disturbingly intense slasher-horror-thriller with a terrific central performance from Elijah Wood. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Much of the film feels graphically real but I was never convinced that some of the girls would ever have trusted him in the first place. Graham Young-Birmingham Post One for fans at the nastier end of the slasher spectrum. Tim Evans-Sky Movies So needlessly graphic and explicitly violent from the outset that it ends up catering to the desires of a voyeuristic audience much more effectively than critiquing them. Paul Gallagher-The List It's hard to think of another piece of filmmaking that will manage to pack the same visual invention and emotional punch into a measly 89 minutes. Do not miss.
