William Lustig’s Maniac Pulp

Raw, nightmarish transmissions from the unholy depths of the New York City underground, the films of revered cult auteur William Lustig are thrillingly intense, shockingly visceral plunges into the darkest chasms of urban existence. Pulsing with kinetic energy, his grindhouse opuses Maniac , Vigilante , and the Maniac Cop series are gritty, startlingly brutal visions of crime, corruption, and revenge that have cemented his status as an exploitation legend whose influence continues to reverberate through genre cinema.
