DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD Oct 22, 2026 A slimy, grimy, oily monstrosity of a picture, The Oily Maniac is a truly grotesque piece of exploitation cinema that throws together whatever ideas seem likely to produce one outrageous scene after another. A bizarre hybrid of horror, exploitation thriller and martial-arts fantasy, the film is, at its simplest, a variation on the werewolf fable, right down to its monstrous transformations, tragic main character, and the theme of ancient myths afflicting modern people, just with the appearance of something resembling Swamp Thing or Toxie and without any of the heart beating beneath the frightening surface, what begins as righteous vengeance increasingly resembles an addiction, devolving into a jealous, wrathful misogynist. Crude, gruesome, tedious, but truly unforgettable, The Oily Maniac is an icky reminder that oil and water don't mix, constantly jolting you with strange and often abrasive moments in an oddly contradictory spin on a well-worn formula.

A strange, timeless epic that will leave you wanting more! See more Read all reviews
