The full restricted trailer for Maniac arrives in bloody fashion

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Last week saw the unveiling of a partial promo trailer for Franck Khalfoun’s remake of MANIAC. While dishing out a good taste of what was in store for us in this update of the William Lustig trash classic, it may have left some of us (sick weirdos) wanting a bit more…

Today we get more; about 30 seconds more, actually. Below you’ll find the full trailer for MANIAC; things are a little more explicit toward the end, so hang on to your scalps…

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 Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.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

Starring Elijah Wood, America Olivo and Nora Arnezeder, MANIAC recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Distribution news should not be far off.
