Homicidal Maniac

About This Movie

Homicidal Maniac, from 2000, is one of those odd gems that feels both familiar and slightly off-kilter. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can’t help but be drawn into Patrick Tam’s bizarre existence. His obsession with Angie Cheung is amusing on the surface but quickly spirals into something darker. The pacing is a bit uneven; it lulls you into a false sense of security before throwing in those unsettling moments. The practical effects aren't groundbreaking, but they have this gritty charm that adds to the film's raw edge. A quirky blend of crime and horror, it captures the absurdity of obsession—perfect for those who appreciate the offbeat side of cinematic storytelling.
