I mean, where else would it end up?!

Continuing its presence at the forefront of VOD distribution is IFC Midnight, which just scooped North American rights to Franck Khalfoun’s remake of 1980 video-nasty MANIAC. Only problem is we’re still not sure when the company will exhibit the picture. Get on it IFC!

Starring Elijah Wood, Nora Arnezeder, Genevieve Alexandra, America Olivo (below), Morgane Slemp, Sal Landi, Dan Hunter, Freedom, Délé Ogundiran, Steffinnie Phrommany and Joshua De La Garza – MANIAC gears up:

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 Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.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.

Keep close for an actual date…
