Maniac. 1980.

A psychotic unstable man goes on a killing spree around new York City.

Another abusive mother an son relationship that triggers the brain of a male to become a complete psycho killer, in this it's the form of Joe Spinell, who'd da thought Rocky's old enforcer boss would make a great unbalanced person

I will admit the pace of the film is a bit slow after the start but does get interesting after the main character build up which Spinell and director William Lustig done nicely. Think we all appreciated the death of Tom Savini's character Disco Boy was done brilliantly and one of the best parts to the film, the other was probably seeing Caroline Munro. Watching Frank and Anna together does give off the tense moment of will he or won't he killer her.
