Why was Maniac banned?
Wood called New Zealand home while he starred in Sir Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings trilogy. But Kiwi authorities banned Maniac in July, on the grounds that it gave viewers a sense of "vicarious participation" in some particularly bloody murders.
Is Maniac 1980 based on a true story?
The story was inspired by the Son of Sam killings, with Spinell as the ranting, depraved killer. The film was notorious for its (at the time) very graphic killings, featuring the work of make up FX legend Tom Savini.
Is Maniac a good movie?
A great horror movie with excellent performances. Not a patch on the original.
