Maniac

The Notorious Horror Classic! New 4K Restoration!

Directed by William Lustig (MANIAC COP 2, VIGILANTE) and featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD, FRIDAY THE 13th), this relentlessly shocking and disturbing film was originally banned or censored all over the world due to its graphic violence. Now Blue Underground is thrilled to present MANIAC in a new 4K Restoration from its recently discovered 16mm original camera negative, overflowing with hours of Extras!
