Maniac delivers two new dimensions of John Carpenter's vision.
A remarkable music opening for Christine. "Bad To The Bone" is a perfect music editing.
Shortened version to my knowledge with a roaring end. "BANG". LOL Really great !
Many additional music tracks.
With The Thing delivers Maniac, again, a masterpiece of editing.
Perfect editing, I can't find any errors.
No time bored during both versions. Fast editing keeps the movies going.
Both are recommended.

Great job, Maniac !
