Bill Lustig has confirmed that Blue Underground is preparing a brand new 4K remaster of his cult film
Maniac (1980), starring Joe Spinell, Kelly Piper, Caroline Munro, Abigail Clayton, and Rita Montone. The remaster is expected to be completed and revealed later this year.
A new Blu-ray release is expected to be announced at the same time as well.
Synopsis: Frank Zito is a deeply disturbed man, haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. And when these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind, Frank prowls the seedy streets of New York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women. Now Frank has begun a relationship with a beautiful photographer, yet his vile compulsions remain. These are the atrocities of a human monster. This is the story of a MANIAC.
