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
When Frank drives his van back to his studio apartment, it's night. Upon changing scenes, it's now day - not sunrise in this case as it would take quite some time before the sun would come up.

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.

Creepfest

This movie is disturbing and disgusting but if you're watching it that's the point. It had a lot of points that made me feel -- for lack of a better word -- plain icky.

Elijah Wood does a great job dialing up the creep factor -- he is incredibly believable as an unadulterated psychopath. Maniac recently got banned in some locales because of its content, so that alone says that it does well in the horror genre.

It's unsettling, creepy, gross. It does what it sets out to do pretty well. The direction is good in this film as is the cinematography; for a remake it was exceptional!
