Maniac Movie Review | |
| It's a bit like watching an amputee play hopscotch: there's no way that it's polite to stare for this long, but you just have to see if this guy's gonna make it to the end. William Goss-Film.com "Maniac" only takes what had merely been a disturbing film and makes it into a truly disturbed one. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The film is exactly what it intends to be: the purest exploitational trash. Kyle Smith-New York Post By not centering on the victims, Mr. Khalfoun nearly makes the film about pitying the panic-prone killer; the camerawork lacks the ominous, confident glide of much Steadicam horror. Nicolas Rapold-New York Times A remake that, rather than trying to fix the deep flaws of its source, just covers them in a shinier coat of paint. Ian Buckwalter-NPR Ever wonder what Frodo Baggins would be like as a serial killer? Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News The POV approach makes the movie even harder to endure. Robert Levin-amNewYork The kind of empty brutality modern horror feebly disguises as unvarnished realism, Maniac offers a literal first-person perspective in an attempt to create either empathy or complicity, but instead generates only repulsion, or more often, boredom. Todd Gilchrist-ToddGilchrist.com Like a cover song that takes an original tune in a fresh new direction, Franck Khalfoun's remake of William Lustig's notorious 1980 slasher flick Maniac boldly serves up a familiar story with an exciting twist. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide For some, Maniac will be disorienting and sickening; for others, it will be a deliciously twisted experience. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant In order to get what this version of Maniac is doing, you have to look at the movie through different eyes. Aja and company did, and the results are a revelation. Bill Gibron-EntertainmentTell Should Wood decide to indulge his manic side again, here's hoping he picks a better vehicle than Maniac. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity Warts and all, "Maniac" still does what it should, digging under the skin and never for a second shying away from the grim realities of a protagonist who's not only an antagonist as well, but a violent sociopath. Dustin Putman-DustinPutman.com The redo also benefits from hindsight, creating a sleeker, more effective movie that remains as violent and irresponsible as ever. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com I would never argue that a movie should be banned or censored, but I firmly believe we should take directors like Khalfoun aside and tell him he's a hack, a phony and should be ashamed of himself. Jordan Hoffman-ScreenCrush If it's possible to be both impressed and appalled by a movie's pull-no-punches savagery, Maniac earns that dubious distinction. A.A. Dowd-AV Club It'll get your blood pumping, before it starts spilling down your forehead. Drew Taylor-The Playlist | |
