Maniac (2013)

I just got to watch this yesterday at Horrorhound and it was pretty incredible! I don't know how it compares to the original but I was really impressed by how the film looked visually, and the really amazing practical effects.

I really hope people pay attention to this movie and the Evil Dead remake so filmmakers will put a huge priority on visuals and practical effects. If they do I don't think fans will complain about remakes nearly so much.

I saw this at a festival last year so it's not fresh in my mind but I remember really enjoying it. I've never seen the original but did like the recreation of the poster. Brilliant sound track.

Pretty decent. Wasn't too crazy about the Elijah casting after Spinelli in the original, but he did a pretty good job. More of a coherent narrative in this version as well.

Anybody catch the bit where he turned towards the mirror holding the scalp and it looked exactly like the original movie poster.
