Maniac (Lustig, 1980): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 8.45pm


This film is part of the 'Terror Vision' strand at BFI Southbank. You can find details of all the regular strands at the cinema, including Terror Vision here.

BFI Southbank introduction:
One of the grubbiest of all 80s slashers, William Lustig’s visceral shocker about a disturbed psychopath stalking the New York streets for unsuspecting female victims has lost none of its power to provoke and unsettle. Dripping in insidious atmosphere and unrelenting dread, this grim character study is arguably more cerebral (but no less incendiary) than its reputation would have us believe.


Here (and above) is the trailer.
