Oh where do I start
Intense, terrifying, twisted and disturbing are the only words one can use to describe the remake of Maniac. I unfortunately didn't see the original, but I could see there was a lot of throwback used in this current version. A couple points I'd like to make about Maniac. Number one, Elijah Woods
dude can act! I always knew that but I think he wanted to prove that he could play literally any part imaginable. In Maniac, he plays a maniac and he does it superbly. Number two; this movie is shot through the point of view of the killer. So if you have issues with found footage films because of the "shaky camera" angles, then this movie will be difficult for you to watch. That being said, this movie was shot brilliantly! We are talking serious, professional direction. You are made to feel like your in the mind of a serial killer and it is done perfectly. And number three, the gore. Wow! The special effects and make up teams on this film are the cream of the crop. The gore in Maniac was some of the most terrifying gore I've ever seen, not because it showed so much, but because it looked so real and natural. This is seriously a film that should not be missed
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to watch some cartoons to flush the Maniac images outta my brain
