A gang of murderous mutants living in the Golden Gate Bridge come out at night and kill partying high school kids around San Francisco. One girl survives and the maniacs end up coming after her after she enlists the help of a few nerdy classmates - including a mousy, monster-obsessed chick who constantly wore a over-size, sideways baseball cap that had me trembling with annoyance. Some shit goes down involving some cops getting murdered and there's a big subway train chase and a Halloween dance where things pretty much come to a head.
The effects are cheezy at hell, but still pretty cool. All of the maniacs have a different "theme" - archer, axe wielder, electric gimp (?), gay cop, farmer, Indian, surgeon... They're given basically NO back story or motive so you can rest assured that "Neon Maniacs" comes absolutely plotless! Also, there's an abundance of terrible 80s rock band performances that eat up a big chunk of the third act. That shit always fucked up 80s horror films, but it always makes me laugh. That's all this flick can really offer you: laughs. It's shitty, but pretty damn entertaining and fast-paced. Not a lot of gore and it's light on nudity, though it's worth checking out for the goofy make-up effects and total schlock-factor.
