The trailer comes from the Cannes website via our pals at FirstShowing.net and shows Elijah Wood dominating women before killing them in what looks like very harsh ways as he plays the Maniac in Franck Khalfoun’s remake. The original trailer is completely screwed on the Cannes website but thanks to Alex who has spent time sorting it, we’re good to go!
Like I say, this is NSFW so watch with caution.

Plot synopsis: 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 Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.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. Actress Nora Arnezeder is playing Anna. This Maniac remake is directed by Franck Khalfoun (P2, Wrong Turn at Tahoe) from a script by Alexandre Aja, GrĂ©gory Levasseur & C.A. Rosenberg. I’ll be seeing it in Cannes soon.
