    • Trivia
      Upon meeting Frank at the restaurant, Lucie says she's happy that he's not "Fat, with long black hair and greasy skin full of acne" which, whilst not flattering, would be an apt description of Joe Spinell's Frank, in the original.
    • Goofs
      Despite the film taking place from Frank's perspective, the shot where he follows Rita to her home reveals his shadow to the right - not taking place from Frank's POV.
    • Quotes

      Frank: [to his first victim] Please don't scream. You're beautiful.

    • Alternate versions
      In Germany, despite being released uncut theatrically, the video release was cut by approx. two minutes to retain the Not under 18 rating from the FSK. Uncut version has since been released on video with SPIO/JK approval.

    Maniac..
    Dude I love this movie/ now I'm not saying the original wasn't not great, it was amazing. But this remake was pretty sweet. Alot of gore and great kills. Elijah wood did a great job That dude was on top of his game when he did this movie. Aldo like all the first person killings. Though it brought a little kick to making the movie better.

    If your a horror movie lover / serial killer movie well .. see it
