Maniac

I’m a fan of horrors, thrillers and the same genres, but this movie really scares me with its candid brutality. No wonder the film was banned to show in many countries. It can be easily attributed to the category 18+.

Reminds me of well-filmed porn with the bloody and sadistic scenes, although gleams of light exist, namely, hints at maniac’s love (slightly distorted and strange, but still love).

The funny thing is that the protagonist is played by none other, but Elijah Wood. I don’t know how about you, but I remembered him as sweet and kind hobbit Frodo bravely fighting with evil. His face looks too cute and childish for a maniac, and those big puppy eyes don’t cause much fear, but pathetic.

Yes, he’s certainly loony whose eyes we see everything that happens on the screen. Honestly, maniac, at the same time a restorer of mannequins and living among them (already this thing can make you crazy) and he isn’t really afraid of being seen, isn’t  careful, he is ruled by the obsessions and thoughts.

Special thanks to the musical accompaniment. It makes the movie even more creepy that it is.

To summarize, I want to say, to watch or nor — it’s your choice, but I give 6/10 to this ‘masterpiece’.
