"Maniac" stars Joe Spinell...of "Rocky" and "Godfather" fame...one of the premier character actors of this generation, and takes the slasher film to new heights !Here's a link...http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=A31310
George Romero...the stepdaddy is Wes Craven...is still the grandaddy of horror films, with his cottage industry of modern horror. Can't beat it, after all these years!
"Demons", et al, is the ultimate Euro-horror film, with the team of Argento-Bava taking the cake for combining all of elements, Bava learned from Romero. Combining Motley Crue with horror really makes it Rock !
Follow Ups:
i got 13 recommendations so far. and there's a couple of video stores that still have this old stock and i can probably get them.i never really watched the movie 'carrie', and it's about time i did so.
i agree that the recent movie, 'the others', while not horror, is a fine film. thinking now that the actress really does a great job. she's perfect for the role.
with all the real killings going on in this inner city town, that seems very unreal to me. people really killing each other all the time.
then there is alot of killing in ordinary films. like in 'frailty' and in the movie 'in the bedroom'.
reminds me that no one has mentioned the movie: 'henry, portrait of a serial killer'. that is one of the most shocking and finest films i ever saw. and it teaches a gret lesson that you really have to be aware or you could be a victim. and it's a great psychological film too.
that movie has made an impression on quite a few people. i saw another movie, but i don't remember which one, that had a little bit of footage from the movie 'henry'.
