Further Details:
Synapse Films has sent over details on Maniac Cop: Special Edition, which will be available to own on the 14th of November at a retail price of $24.95. When innocent people are brutally killed on the streets of New York by a uniformed police officer, a young cop, Jack Forrest (Bruce Campbell), finds himself marked as the chief suspect after his wife is murdered. As Lieutenant Frank McCrae (Tom Atkins) investigates these mysterious killings, the death toll rises and he suspects a mysterious police cover-up. This “maniac” cop must be stopped, but it might not be so easy! He isn’t an ordinary man. He’s inhuman...driven by supernatural forces...and ready to take on the entire police force, hell-bent on revenge!

IMO the artwork looks cheap. i noticed that new releases of old films being released lately dont have an impressive design...
