“Maniacts” was kind of a weird movie, I don’t really know how to put it really it was kind of like “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” but a bloodier more violent version. The film is weird, I’d be lying if I said I knew what was going on all the time. We have a serial killer whom seems to be a nice guy, he only kills rich people or politicians that in his views seem to be a threat to society. Well he gets caught and is bought to a prison for the mentally insane. He meets a girl falls in love and the film turns into a Bonnie and Clyde type movie and the killing begins.
The death scenes are violent and bloody, the characters are not really that scary as they are the people you are following throughout the film. At times the film can be confusing, but over all it got it’s high points and is not a hard film to watch. Overall I can’t say it’s great but I can’t say it’s bad, you be judge and rent it at your own risk, there are some great killing scenes especially the one with the fire hose.

Jeff Fahey (Darkman 3, Body Parts) stars in this psycho’s in love murder spree MANIACTS. A typical sort of “You are crazy also, so am I” type relationship movie you would see in the low budget Psycho’s In Love feature directed by Gordon Bechard in 1987. “We have so much in common, I killed x amount of people, how many did you kill? blah blah blah. Well, Joe (Jeff) escapes from the insane asylum only to have harsh emotions of loneliness so what does he do? Goes back to the hospital and frees the equally insane yet repressed lover to go and start a life of their own. They take up residence in an old friends house only to be mentally corrupted by they themselves who in turn drive each into a new adventure of shooting and supreme action. A sort of insane-o-drama if you might call it that. I like Natural Born Killers or Love and a 45 better if you ask me, but there is always room for carbon copies if it’s done right. This one is so so.
