Theredknite posted a photoAs a huge fan of William Lustig's landmark 1980 slasher film 'Maniac,' I've been paying close attention to Alexandre Aja's remake. I was a little skeptical of Elijah Wood's ability to inhabit the unsettling creep made famous by Joe Spinell, but with the release of this red band trailer, I have to say I'm a little more on board. The quieter moments are what sold me although I can say that it looks like they've added a few kills; the body count appearing higher in this version. I love the shot at the end wherein 'Maniac's infamous poster is recreated in the reflection of the car. Gotta say, I'm pretty excited. Take a look at the trailer below and let us know what you think.

Comment by Jon Riddle on May 27, 2012 at 9:19pm I liked High Tension a lot and Piranha 3D was amusing. I'll give this one a chance. I'd like to watch the original first though, but I can't find a copy of it around here.
Comment by Zen on May 26, 2012 at 11:53am Elijah Wood showed me he could play unsettling in Sin City.

@The Dubya that song was originally suppose to be for the original Maniac film lol (I'm dead serious) and its too bad it got rejected.

Reading Alexandre Aja's name made me immediately lose interest.
Comment by Zgamer on May 26, 2012 at 3:02am Hm.....I probably will not see it (I am just not into this kind of film personally) but it is definitely selling the creepy and disturbing angle.
