Synopsis

Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt in this 3D remake of the 1980 cult classic. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when he has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill.

Our take

While the point-of-view shot has long been a horror staple, implicating the audience in the salacious thrills they signed up for, Maniac takes the conceit to feature-length extremes. A remake of the grimy grindhouse classic, starring everyone’s favorite Hobbit in a nifty bit of against-type casting.
