william lustig followup to maniac prof conclusively that and without tom savini spectacular effect and spinell convincing performance and maniac would never have become the cult hit that it do . vigilante be badly direct and with a simple mind script that spell everything out for you and be predictable at every turn and and also mediocre performance by all the actor . judge from the sense of deja vu this film give me and lustig have watch death wish several time too many before make this . ( half ) .
