Maniac

Elijah Wood stars in this remake of the 1980 slasher horror as Frank Zito, a psychopath who stalks, murders and scalps young women. Shot from this horrific killer's point of view, with Wood’s face visible only in reflections.

Maniac sees Zito move from mentally disturbed to full blown serial killer, a transition provoked by memories of his mother whose prostitute past has left his sexual impulses confused with violence. As the killing spree accelerates, more and more of the mannequins at the family business he runs find themselves sporting the scalps of his victims… Co-written by director Alexandre Aja (Piranha, Haute Tension).
