Full Trailer For ‘Maniac’ Remake

by Hazel P. housewife Late last week we were treated to the first images of Franck Khalfoun’s remake of the graphic 1980 psycho-thriller MANIAC. The original film, directed by William Lustig and starring the late ROCKY and THE GODFATHER actor Joe Spinell, told the disturbing tale of Frank, a man whose abuse as a child from his domineering mother, led to psychopathic behaviour on the dark, sleazy streets of New York. The notorious realistic gore effects came from make-up legend Tom Savini.

Here we have the chilling teaser trailer from the updated version, written and produced by PIRANHA 3D and THE HILLS HAVE EYES remake director Alexandre Aja along with filmmaking partner Gregory Lavesseur. Elijah Wood takes the over lead role of Frank, starring alongside America Olivo, Nora Arnezeder, Morgane Slemp and Liane Balaban, likely playing the victims of his obsessive killing spree.

We’re also expecting a remake of another William Lustig exploitation horror, MANIAC COP. Both Lustig and original screenwriter Larry Cohen are set to collaborate with DRIVE director Nicolas Winding-Refn on the story of police officer Matt Cordell and his murderous rampage.
