Maniac Cop (1988)

In the heart of New York City, terror strikes as innocent civilians are mercilessly slaughtered on the well-trodden streets. The villain is not a shadowy figure lurking in the alleyways but a uniformed police officer, his badge and authority wielded as weapons of fear. As the body count escalates and City Hall scrambles to bury the horrifying truth, the case lands on the desk of seasoned investigator, Frank McCrae. Meanwhile, young police officer, Jack Forrest, finds himself ensnared in the bloody web, framed as the prime suspect by the true murderer - the Maniac Cop. His supposed guilt is seemingly confirmed by a mysterious woman's phone call and his own wife's incriminating testimony. Now, with his badge tarnished and freedom on the line, Forrest must navigate the treacherous labyrinth of lies and deceit to clear his name. Aided by his girlfriend, Theresa, and the doggedly determined McCrae, Forrest embarks on a desperate mission to unmask the Maniac Cop. With every tick of the clock, the relentless killer inches closer to his next victim, threatening to plunge the city into an abyss of fear and chaos. As Forrest, Theresa, and McCrae race against time, they must unravel the twisted puzzle and expose the true monster hiding behind the badge, before the Maniac Cop can strike again. The electrifying chase for truth and justice ignites the city's underbelly, blurring the line between the law and those who enforce it in this pulse-pounding tale of suspense and intrigue.
