The filmmakers behind High Tension team up with Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood for a fresh take on infamous grindhouse nasty MANIAC. Co-written by Alexandre Aja (also The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha remakes) and Grégory Levasseur, and directed by Frank Khalfoun, it stars Wood as a shy New Yorker with severe mommy issues and a mannequin fetish. His mounting psychosis seems to cool when he meets an artist that wants to involve him in a project, but soon his obsessions take a sick turn. MANIAC boasts a unique POV style, a stunning performance by Wood and shocking gore to rival the original.
