I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. I LOVE cult movies, but this is a remake which usually leaves me cold. However, this one was really great. Now, don’t get me wrong – it is not a GOOD movie, but I think Herschell would be proud of this remake (and if you don’t know who Herschell is, you probably shouldn’t be watching this movie). The movie was lighthearted, with silly acting, but a surprisingly competent script and directing. This movie didn’t take itself seriously, which I feel is a major component to its success. And the gore was really great. “Hostile” has nothing on this one.

The original 2000 Maniacs by Herschell Gordon Lewis is always gonna be a classic but Tim Sullivan’s 2001 Maniacs will sure be a cult classic (remake). I mean, this film is just too funny, with added gore. They added characters that need to be in this film. What they did to this film, its wrong in so many levels its great. So if your into funny redneck humor/ horror. This one is the one. Robert Englund was made to be the mayor. I’m surly going to buy this verrrrrry soon. Rent it..Buy it…Spread the word…Most of all I hope you enjoy it. I sure did.
