William Lustig’s Maniac is Getting the 4K Treatment

William Lustig’s 1980 film Maniac is about to look better than ever before with an upcoming 4K restoration being undertaken by Blue Underground. The label is known for releasing cult-classic and lesser-known films with remastered visuals and a plethora of special features. Check out the announcement made by the company via social media below.

About the film, Maniac follows troubled psychopath Frank Zito, who prowls the streets of New York City to murder young women and takes their scalps as trophies for his bizarre collection. After Frank meets a beautiful photographer named Anna, he begins to question his perverse lifestyle and whether he should put an end to his killing spree for the woman of his dreams.

While Blue Underground has not yet revealed a planned street date for the Maniac 4K, keep your eyes peeled on Dead Entertainment for further news on its release date.
