Today saw the US release of Maniac to theaters and on a variety of digital services. We have a brand new clip from the movie and a behind-the-scenes featurette that takes a look at some of the blood and gore in the movie.
Starring Elijah Wood, Maniac is a remake of the 1980 William Lustig cult classic of the same name. The new movie was directed by Franck Khalfoun and written by Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur:
“Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill. A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in present-day LA, MANIAC is a re-boot of the cult filmconsidered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made – an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiraling nightmare of a killer and his victims.”
Don't forget that we're giving away a poster signed by Elijah Wood. Want to see more? Here are links to the previously released NSFW trailer, clips, and our photo gallery:
