Maniacs Bite the Dog
Shia LaBeuf has been directing shorts before ‘Maniac’ and he has been accused plain plagiarism. Though ‘Maniac’ does not seem very original film either it is more homage than a rip off of ‘Man Bites Dog’ where serial killer is followed by documentary crew. In this short film there are two serial killers followed by documentary filmmakers. The scene with killer and the kid is borrowed straight from more superior ‘Man Bites Dog’. There isn’t much plot in this film as we only see the overly stylized killing spree. Style over substance film, but Shia shows he has some style with nice hand-held cinematography.‘Maniac’ is nice homage to ‘Man Bites Dog’ (there can be seen the original’s poster on the wall at the hotel scene) but it doesn’t but much new on the table. The film seems more as a practice of filmmaking than actual film with story.
Contract killers at work
Shia LaBeouf wrote, directed and starred in this 10-minute short film from almost 5 years ago. He certainly attempts to give it an artistic vibe despite the brutal subject, but all in all he fails. This film is in black-and-white and we basically follow a duo of contract killers during their job. We do not find out who they are exactly or why they are in that business. We also do not find out who the victims are and why somebody wants them dead. Basically, for the entire 10 minute we see people getting killed and at the end the obvious fact that it’s not a good idea to make a documentary about these guys becomes painfully visible. Painfully for the camera guy. All in all, not a good short movie and I cannot recommend it.
