Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUpon meeting Frank at the restaurant, Lucie says she's happy that he's not "Fat, with long black hair and greasy skin full of acne" which, whilst not flattering, would be an apt description of Joe Spinell's Frank, in the original.
- GoofsWhen Frank drives his van back to his studio apartment, it's night. Upon changing scenes, it's now day - not sunrise in this case as it would take quite some time before the sun would come up.
- Alternate versionsIn Germany, despite being released uncut theatrically, the video release was cut by approx. two minutes to retain the Not under 18 rating from the FSK. Uncut version has since been released on video with SPIO/JK approval.

Featured review
Well done but stomach-churning
This is a very gory and bloody film and unless you don't mind watching these types of films you won't like it.
I've not seen the original so I can't compare the two. Elijah Wood is an actor I like and he is excellent in this as the serial killing maniac. I found it hard to get into the film but this is one film that gradually improves as it goes along rather than fades away.
Along with the bloody horror there are a number of really tense scenes. It is the most unsettling film I've seen in a while. Maniac is well filmed and uses some very interesting filming techniques. I can't say I enjoyed watching it too much was a bit too sadistic for my taste. However for it's type this is a very good effort.
