Elijah Wood Slays The First Six Minutes Of MANIAC
Are you ready for Elijah Wood, serial killer? We've had images and trailer for the Franck Khalfoun directed remake of Maniac - with the former Frodo in the titular role - but now the powers that be are going one better, releasing the first six minutes of the film, a block that includes the picture's first kill.

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Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.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.  

A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in present-day LA, MANIAC is a re-boot of the cult film considered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made - an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiralling nightmare of a killer and his victims.

Make no mistake about it, this is dark and nasty stuff. Check it out below.
