Maniac (Blu-ray, 1963, Indicator #54) Kerwin Mathews, Nadia Gray

Description: Although not one of Hammer’s best-known films, the lurid Maniac is a tightly paced and intricately plotted thriller, penned by the great Jimmy Sangster, and taking inspiration from both Clouzot’s Les Diaboliques and Hitchcock’s Psycho. A young American (Kerwin Mathews, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) stranded in rural France takes up with local hotel owner Eve (Nadia Gray), and is soon involved in a plot to spring her criminally insane husband from an asylum...
