I'm a huge Giallo fan, but somehow I've never watched Inferno. Maybe I'll do that for this one.

I met Alex Vincent at a con once and he was incredibly humble and kind. One of my top horror celeb meetings.

Exorcist II is certainly somewhere in the middle of "worst movie" and "good". But it's definitely neither of those.

Maniac (1980)

A deeply grimy and unpleasant look into the activities of a serial killer living in New York City. This is not a fun tense spooky movie or an enjoyably violent gore showcase, despite some amazing effects by Tom Savini. It's an unflinching look into a deeply gross person's deeply gross behavior, where the only humanizing moments are when we see how pathetic and empty he truly is. Joe Spinell feels far too believable in the lead role, and there's not a single second he's on screen that isn't simultaneously captivating and seriously offputting. Despite some elements of surrealism, this film feels like a documentary at times, which just makes all the violence hit that much harder. Watch this to experience horror of a very different kind.

Available to stream on Shudder, Tubi and Prime Video

gently caress yeah, I love this movie. I think the remake is better, and one of the best things Elijah Wood has done, but they're both great.
