2001 Maniacs Trailer online

Posted by: Goon

When I was up at the Festival of Fear I had the opportunity to catch Tim Sullivan's 2001 Maniacs on the big screen. But alas, the bars were calling out to me that night and I didn't take the chance. I have heard several different reviews of this movie, so I'm not sure what to think.

I can tell you, though, that the tralier looks awesome. Of course, this is the remake of a H.G. Lewis classic Two Thousand Maniacs. The film will be getting a limited theatrical run here in the states and will be released on DVD from Lions Gate in early 2006.

So until then, you can check out the trailer here.

Those already familiar with the original film directed by HG Lewis ("2000 Maniacs" 1964) will know what they’ve gotten themselves into as our main characters follow a bogus "Detour" sign and arrive in the town of Pleasant Valley, whose residents are hard at work preparing for their weekend "Guts and Glory Jubilee."

Soon, the Confederate knife fodder arrive with Yankee good looks and are declared "guests of honour" by the one-eyed Mayor Buckman. Little do they know, they are in for a night of cannibalism and gore beyond anything they have ever experiecend.
