Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank (Elijah Wood) is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna (Nora Arnezeder) appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.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. A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in present day LA, Franck Khalfoun's Maniac is a re-boot of the William Lustig cult film considered by many to be the most suspensseful slasher movie ever made - an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and projoundly horrific trip into the downward spiralling nightmare of a killer and his victims. -- (C) IFCIf You Like this movie you can streaming Maniac movie without downloading HERE

New Trailer For Maniac
Review For Maniac
A creepy experiment that stays with you.Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
Frodo Baggins as a psycho-killer? Why not?
Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times
The sadistic proceedings here are pointless, and not very scary.
David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle
It's not clear what exactly merited an updating of William Lustig's 1980 "Maniac" - a cheapo urban grimeball about a serial killer - but like a rash's unwelcome return, we got it anyway.
Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times
It's a bit like watching an amputee play hopscotch: there's no way that it's polite to stare for this long, but you just have to see if this guy's gonna make it to the end.
William Goss-Film.com
"Maniac" only takes what had merely been a disturbing film and makes it into a truly disturbed one.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
There's nothing about Maniac to set it apart from the countless other films about countless other psychos who kill countless other women.
Eric D. Snider-About.com
The motives for his character remain cloudy, and the film is more interested in gratuitous gore than suspense.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Beyond the killings, there isn't much mystery to Wood's Frank. He has Norman Bates Syndrome. The end.
Scott Tobias-The Dissolve
Khalfoun gives us an unflinchingly brutal film that places the viewer in the role of accomplice with disturbingly effective results.
Beth Accomando-KPBS.org
Thrilling and fueled by plenty of bloody carnage, Maniac is a horror film that knows how to wear its influences on its sleeve and capitalize on them.
Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
Perhaps the mannequin metaphor is best: though it's dressed to the nines, Maniac is ultimately just a piece of plastic
Violet Lucca-Film Comment Magazine
Khalfoun generates a handful of moments of stomach-knotting intensity, but this ultimately a gimmick film -- and the gimmick doesn't work.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Even the most ardent horror fan might struggle to find something to enjoy in Franck Khalfoun's remake of William Lustig's 1980 slasher classic, Maniac.
Jonah Flicker-Paste Magazine
The POV approach makes the movie even harder to endure.
Robert Levin-amNewYork
The kind of empty brutality modern horror feebly disguises as unvarnished realism, Maniac offers a literal first-person perspective in an attempt to create either empathy or complicity, but instead generates only repulsion, or more often, boredom.
Todd Gilchrist-ToddGilchrist.com
Like a cover song that takes an original tune in a fresh new direction, Franck Khalfoun's remake of William Lustig's notorious 1980 slasher flick Maniac boldly serves up a familiar story with an exciting twist.
Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide
For some, Maniac will be disorienting and sickening; for others, it will be a deliciously twisted experience.
Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant
In order to get what this version of Maniac is doing, you have to look at the movie through different eyes. Aja and company did, and the results are a revelation.
Bill Gibron-EntertainmentTell
Should Wood decide to indulge his manic side again, here's hoping he picks a better vehicle than Maniac.
Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity
Warts and all, "Maniac" still does what it should, digging under the skin and never for a second shying away from the grim realities of a protagonist who's not only an antagonist as well, but a violent sociopath.
