Maniac Cop Reviews
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Gruesome, gory, and actually kinda fun.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
This is a one-idea concept enlivened ever so slightly by fleeting moments of Cohen's patented sociopolitical subtext and goofy black humor.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Schlocky, but mildly entertaining.
FulvueDrive-in.com
Chuck O'Leary
Cohen takes the slasher/serial-killer genre and puts a unique spin on it while adding plenty of gallows humor.
AV Club
Noel Murray
It's too often a routine '80s genre piece, straight down to the synthesizer score, over-lit night scenes, and bandana-sporting street punks.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
A sturdy slasher flick that laces its splattery slayings with some anti-establishment undertones.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Its execution sits perched well above its scummy aim, and the end result is that you feel guilty for wishing for something more perverted.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A fairly involving "B" programmer.
Hollywood Jesus
Ed Travis
It doesn't get more royal on the B-list than Bruce Campbell and Tom Atkins. These guys are geek legends, and they deliver here in Maniac Cop.
Den of Geek
Paul Martinovic
So the original Maniac Cop is what it is, and what it is is a film about a cop who murders people. And you know what? Sometimes, that's enough.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
A pretty underrated little slasher gem.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Maniac Cop is still lots of fun for its "let's see what we can get away with" attitude.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
Dripping in 80s exploitation tropes, this gritty crime thriller revels in its era with enough horror elements to make it unique.
