Maniac Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this unpleasant, slasher's-point-of-view flick gives a clue

  by Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News ]

• the structure of the film is 89 minutes of brutality with a college degree. This is a warning, not a recommendation

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]

• the movie is essentially a sadistic art-house bloodbath, with opera music and ballet dancers and funky little art galleries

  by Megan Lehmann [Hollywood Reporter ]

• Mr. Khalfoun nearly makes the film about pitying the panic-prone killer; the camerawork lacks the ominous, confident glide of much Steadicam horror

  by Nicolas Rapold [New York Times ]

• Maniac doesn't quite reach the heights of that great horror film; it's a bit too self-aware
