    Looks like 2013 horror scene is off to a great start; with more to come! This is the way it's suppose to be.

    I'm glad we could share this movie together. <3

    In the era in which we live today in film, full of sequels, remakes and adaptations of other existing materials, it is a pleasure to come across a film like Maniac.

    It is a sort of eighties film made with current media, in the way it portrays the urban world and the use of music, remembering a lot to "Drive". "Maniac" lives by itself in all shapes and works as an exercise of style and genre.

    It is an excellent film in which brutality is served, in a wild way, direct and create the feeling that the horror is much closer to us, what we see is what our friend Frank sees, played brilliantly by Elijah Wood. His rare appearances, through mirrors and reflections are chilling. I loved it.. and I will watch it again in these days.

    Might do a proper review of this, but I think I said it all in my previous post. But I feel like writing

    I really enjoyed the movie a lot, even though the constant First-Person POV kinda got on my nerves after a while.. I understand what they were going for with it and why they did the film that way, but I just found it to be unnecessary and kind of distracting from the film itself, but that's a minor gripe, as I liked everything else about the movie.

    I also liked the little homage to the original movie's poster.. I thought it was a nice touch.

    For those who don't know what the hell I'm talking about or just plain missed it in the movie.. this is what I'm referring to.

    Yeah that was a nice touch

    Also loved the nod to the first film when he meets the first girl (the little redhead with tats ) and she said, "I would picture you as a fat guy with black hair and a greasy face". I giggled

    Really dug this remake. Loved the music and the POV aspect wasn't annoying or distracting for me at all. This is probably one of the better remakes I've seen in a good while, and definitely one of the best slashers I've seen in years. Should have a review posted shortly

    I enjoyed this movie. Of course it's missing a little of the feel/tone that the original had, and it was missing Tom Savini, but the POV camera work was great, and Elijah Wood did a good job.

    Well done remake. The first one was always an alright film to me. It had many great moments but for some reason wasn't a great movie to me. This movie fixed all of the things that I disliked about the original except one thing, I think Wood did a great job, but Wood is a little too normal looking and small for me to be scared of him in the slightest bit. Joe Spinell was perfect in the original, but like I said I think Wood did a lot better than I thought when I first saw he was casted as Frank. I'm torn between a 8 or a 9 for this film. I'm leaning more towards 9/10 because of the gore

    I think my 7 rating review has been the "lowest" rating for the film around here so far

    I'd probably lean toward a 7 myself, mostly because I don't feel the urge to see it again anytime soon now that I've watched it. I'd have to be in mood, maybe it's the pov aspect or the pacing snags here and there.

    Great soundtrack though as others have noted and good gore effects, although I did feel there could have been more variety with the kills.
