If you don't enjoy circus freaks, transvestites, and the idea ofintimate relations with arthropods, then you probably won't get the humor in Multiple Maniacs. If, on the other hand, you enjoyed John Waters's infamous Pink Flamingos ('the filthiest film ever made!'), then check out this earlier attempt to shock even the most jaded moviegoer.
The story, such as it is, revolves around Lady Divine's Cavalcade of Perversions, a smutty sideshow featuring such depraved attractions as armpit lickers and 'actual queers, kissing on the lips.' Divine plays a homicidal dominatrix who slaughters hapless suburbanites lured by the carnival's cheap thrills. The filming, like the subject matter, is crude, but shows hints of Waters's keen eye for visuals, as in Divine's first scene, when the colossal drag queen wallows nakedly, ample backside to the camera, delivering his/her lines into a makeup mirror. Things really get going when emcee Mr. David decides to leave Divine for a more petite woman... and Divine's wrathful revenge is diverted by an apparition of the Christ Child of Prague. Before it's over, rabies, Charles Manson, and giant, randy lobsters all come into play. To enjoy Multiple Maniacs, there's just one strategy--sit back and take it. --Grant Balfour

Rating:  - Multiple Maniacs for Serious John Waters Fans Only
This is an early effort of John Waters'and is for serious colletors of his works.The movie is poorly made but still has elements of humorous shock value that we've all come to enjoy. The dialogue is often wordy and seems to go on endlessly, but Waters does have a tendency to use a thousand words when he could have used ten.But the film does have some humorous and shocking moments that we look for in his films.
Rating:  - Think about the Stations of the Cross!
This is John Waters' first "Talkie," and God, does Divine talk!
A lot of freaks think this one is Waters' best.It brings out the unlimited talent of Divine, Mink Stole, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pierce, andintroduces us to the deliciously ugly Edith Massey!
When these clowns spout out all the totally absurd lines that were stillborn in the Pope of Trash- John Waters' fertile imagination, no jaw is left shut, and no lunch is left unlaunched!John's Catholic upbringing is left ... Read More
Rating: - Waters' best.
And I mean it. Desperate living is perhaps the only other film Waters has done that stands along side Multiple Maniacs in terms of sheer entertainment, originality and creativity. Female Trouble and Pink Flamingos are also good, but Pink Flamingos is a bit overrated, sense most people only seem to want to see it for the shock value. Polyester was really the end for true John Waters as he started working with higher budgets and more mainstream cast members, and anything Hairspray and beyond is just terrible. ... Read More
Rating: - Waters FIlthiest movie alive!
I can't believe people are saying this is his worst effort. This is easily his most filthy and wild and in some parts funny film. There is vomit eating and refrences to the manson trial and murders while IT WAS GOING ON that outdo any form of bad taste he latter attempted. This movies have the most obscene sex scene in the church with the rosery beads ever filmed period. It is hillarious and to think it once showed in an actual church from what i understand. I love this movie and wish john would release it on ... Read More
Rating: - DISGUSTINGLY DELICIOUS
This is my latest discovery of the John Waters back catalogue of Trash cinema. He is undoubtedly the trashiest and best at this. One of Divine's first forays into film making and the strangest yet. In Multiple Maniacs Lady Divine (Divine) is the focus of a group of traveling misfits who make a living out of murder and mayhem under the guise of entertainment. Unsuspecting patrons attend the Dark Lady Divine's Cavelcade of Perversions. This quasi freakshow features all sorts of bizarre and erotic grossout activities ... Read More
