MANIAC Wins Over The Queen

“I warned you not to go out tonight.”

This horror movie quote was my favorite throughout the ’80s and ’90s; ironically, it summed up the advice I gave most of my friends in college.

I remember the first time I saw this poster. It was the first time I sharted on myself as a teenager.

REMAKE ALERT -- Maniac

William Lustig’s cult horror film Maniac is being re made--duh! The original film is about a schizoid serial killer who randomly stalks and kills various young women in New York. He seeks revenge for the mistreatment he received while being raised by his own abusive mother.

When I first heard they were remaking this film, I was so unsure because Joe Spinell's performance was untouchable. He oozed maniac! And when I found out that Elijah Wood (Frodo, The Lord of The Rings) took the lead role, I was still a bit unsure. But after seeing the stills, he fits the role perfectly!

In this film, Elijah Wood plays the role of a serial killer who works at a shop that sells antique mannequins. He finds victims on the internet and stalks them like prey, all the while suffering from hallucinations that throw him back into the past, where he was abused by his own mother. In his twisted mind, he's getting revenge against his mother with each kill he performs.
