Maniac (1981), directed by William Lustig, Blue Underground 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including 7.1 remaster, original theatrical stereo, two commentary tracks, and subtitles in fifteen languages.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081114/

Video encoded in two-pass 11.5 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image.

English SDH subtitles OCRed, proofed and corrected. All other subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.

Note : The exploitation film meets the slasher in this ultra-gritty low budget film from Raging Bull's nephew, superfan of the word "Maniac", and sometime Dario Argento location manager William Lustig, which has a not very noteworthy plot, but is elevated by a fearless, balls to the wall performance by 70s character actor Joe Spinell, who just goes above and beyond here as a crazed mama's boy with some severe issues, talking to himself, imagining his dead mother abusing him, and scalping women while sweating profusely. There's also a memorable sequence where Tom Savini creates the SFX for Tom Savini shooting Tom Savini in the head with a shotgun, although the effect itself isn't as memorable as the one in Scanners, which remains the gold standard for exploding heads.

Joseph Zito is unwell. He lives by himself in a NYC apartment full of mannequins, onto whose heads he nails the scalps of the women he kills, and he keeps an altar to his dead abusive mother, whose voice he hears and occasionally speaks in. At night he goes out to hunt prostitutes, couples parked on lovers' lane (Son of Sam style), nurses on their way home, and, later on, models. There's a glimpse of the possibility of change when he meets a Anna (Caroline Munro), a photographer who takes his picture in the park, and who he later invites to dinner, but his murderous urges and mommy fixation are never far beneath the surface.

This is a completely decent looking 4k remaster of this quite rough-looking film, which was shot guerrilla style with very little light, and is therefore grainy and dark in general. I think the grain could have been managed better, but there's not much else that could be improved, I think. The 7.1 remaster (why?) sounds fine, and there's the original theatrical stereo if you prefer that, as well as a couple of commentary tracks, one of which features the omnipresent Savini.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk slasher” for more young women hunted by killers, “hevk mystery” for more exploitative filmmaking, or “hevk 80s” for more from the decade of Tom Savini's SFX.
