Maniac

Frank Zito is a serial killer who slaughters and scalps women to adorn his mannequins with their scalps (until they rot and need replacing). And who is to blame? His mother, a prostitute who abused him as a child. But then Frank meets photographer Anna D’Antoni—is there any other way for him to form an intimate connection with women besides turning them into fetish objects? William Lustig began his directing career with authentic 70s NYC porn, and that is exactly what *Maniac* looks like: gritty, dangerous, mysterious, and alluring (look out for XXX icons Sharon Mitchell and Gail Lawrence in small roles!). A masterpiece! (Olaf Möller)
