Rating: - A classic horror/revenge with a twist

Rating:  - Pure trash that's enjoyable to a point
Maniac Cop has never had too warm a place in my heart as it has in many other's, but this flick from writer/producer Larry Cohen and director William Lustig (Maniac) serves as being enjoyable trash in it's own merits. Genre stalwart Tom Atkins stars as a veteran detective who thinks that a rash of murders are being perpetrated by a cop thought long dead, while the department thinks they've caught their man with a young patrolman (Bruce "Evil Dead" Campbell) that fits the profile. A majority of Maniac ... Read More
Rating: - You have the right to remain silent..........Forever!.
I didn't make that up, thats the actual tagline for this decent low budget 1980's slasher flick/cop thriller.

He stalks law abiding civilians. He eventually gets the name maniac cop and people begin to be so fearful that they start shooting down cops. The acting was pretty solid to me. The death scenes were ok but there was nothing to really get excited about. Its not very strong on gore ... Read More
Rating: - A cop killing innocent people? You mean a maniac cop?
First of all, let me clarify that the four star rating only qualifies in the genre of slightly-schlocky gore. For those of you that don't appreciate this type of movie, it's more like one star. But if you're looking to buy the DVD and reading this review, I have a feeling you're into this.
That being said, this is top quality when it comes to off-kilter horror action. A monstrous killer dressed like a cop is on the loose in New York, killing innocent people instead of criminals. One cop lets the ... Read More
