Release Date : Jun 21, 2013 Limited
Mpaa Rating : Unrated
Genre :Horror
Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank (Elijah Wood) is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna (Nora Arnezeder) appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.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, Franck Khalfoun's Maniac is a re-boot of the William Lustig cult film considered by many to be the most suspensseful slasher movie ever made - an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and projoundly horrific trip into the downward spiralling nightmare of a killer and his victims. -- (C) IFC

New Trailer For Maniac

Special Review For Movie Maniac

By not centering on the victims, Mr. Khalfoun nearly makes the film about pitying the panic-prone killer; the camerawork lacks the ominous, confident glide of much Steadicam horror.
Nicolas Rapold-New York Times

A remake that, rather than trying to fix the deep flaws of its source, just covers them in a shinier coat of paint.
Ian Buckwalter-NPR

Ever wonder what Frodo Baggins would be like as a serial killer?
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News

Eventually it collapses in a gore fest of nauseating brutality that makes you wonder why they bothered at all.
Rex Reed-New York Observer

The genre is adolescent as hell, reckless and pre-empathetic, picking on girls just to see what their reactions might be.
Chris Packham-Village Voice

Each killing is suffused with a strangely surreal empathy for both murderer and victim that recalls Jonathan Demme's genre-redefining The Silence of the Lambs.
Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York

The redo also benefits from hindsight, creating a sleeker, more effective movie that remains as violent and irresponsible as ever.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com

I would never argue that a movie should be banned or censored, but I firmly believe we should take directors like Khalfoun aside and tell him he's a hack, a phony and should be ashamed of himself.
Jordan Hoffman-ScreenCrush

If it's possible to be both impressed and appalled by a movie's pull-no-punches savagery, Maniac earns that dubious distinction.
A.A. Dowd-AV Club

It'll get your blood pumping, before it starts spilling down your forehead.
Drew Taylor-The Playlist

Its audio-visual overload testifies to a group of filmmakers' belief that some films are made to be remade.
Ed Gonzalez-Slant Magazine

Slasher films have gotten more grisly, grimy and gruesome - but few earn the three R's: repulsive, repugnant and rank. Elijah Wood has left Frodo far behind.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate

The hand-held camera work is impossibly dizzying.
Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve

Maniac is an elegant and carefully crafted film, from start to finish.
Staci Layne Wilson-Inside Horror

Maniac is perfectly brutal, gritty, in-your-face horror with a film-noir bite, sporting a memorable performance by Elijah Wood that makes me wish horror films had their own Oscars-like event.
Matt Donato-We Got This Covered

An irredeemable exploitation horror movie that overplays its subjective POV conceit, "Maniac" will leave viewers cold.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com

It's not enough to just mimic exploitation cinema, swallow its misogynistic conventions uncritically and call it an homage.
Mary Clare Waireri-Fan The Fire

I doubt if cult status is in the offing, but who predicted a future for Michael Powell's Peeping Tom?
Philip French-Observer [UK]

Aside from being an exercise in point-of-view cinema, it's not clear why French filmmaker Khalfoun (P2) bothered to remake the notorious 1980 slasher horror.
