Maniac (1980)

Maniac (1980) poster     Maniac is a hard movie to sit through.  Character actor Joe Spinell's performance is just too creepy and convincing.  The movie's tagline itself is actually pretty vanilla, but paired with the gruesome image on the poster it seems exponentially more threatening.

     FX artist Tom Savini produced some of his most convincing and unrestrained gore effects for Maniac, not the least of which is the scene in which Savini (standing in for Spinell to ensure the effect was successful) shoots a prop head bearing his own likeness with a shotgun at point blank range.
