Maniac - Enzian Theater

Screening as part of Enzian’s 13+ Films of Halloween!

Screening in 35mm!

Frank Zito—a career defining performance by co-writer/co-executive producer Joe Spinell (ROCKY, THE GODFATHER)—is a deeply disturbed man haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. When these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind, Frank prowls the seedy streets of New York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women. Now, Frank has begun a relationship with a beautiful photographer (Caroline Munro, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), yet his vile compulsions remain. These are the atrocities of a human monster. This is the story of a MANIAC.

Directed by William Lustig (MANIAC COP) and featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD, FRIDAY THE 13th), this relentlessly shocking and disturbing film was originally censored all over the world due to its graphic violence.
