This movie. . .
Let me first say that Maniac combines my discussion of found footage in my End of Watch blog post with my discussion of slasher films in my Scream blog post. It is a found footage slasher film, without actually being as simple as either one of those things.
Let me second say that if you are squeamish, or don't appreciate being made to feel profoundly uncomfortable, you probably shouldn't watch this movie. Note that I said "appreciate" rather than "enjoy." Either way, there is no enjoyment to be had here.
