Elijah Wood is a MANIAC in This New Trailer
Elijah Wood plays an insane serial killer in this upcoming horror thriller called Maniac. The movie was directed by Franck Khalfoun from a script written by Alex Aja and Gregory Levasseur. The movie is shot from the point of view of the serial killer, and not only does it look like a solidly disturbing film, but I've been hearing good things about it as well. Wood has got the crazy eyes, so he seems like the perfect choice to play a serial killer.
Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.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.
The film is a remake of William Lustig's 1980 cult film, which I have to admit I haven't seen. The thriller is set for a limited theatrical release and VOD debut on June 21st.
