Maniac is perceived as part of a whole wave of thrillers spawned by the runaway success of Psycho (1960). It is actually closer to a James Cain novel. It also belongs to the Hammer Films school of psycho-thrillers written by Jimmy Sangster and usually set in or Italy (like The Snorkel or Scream of Fear).
