MANIAC
"Despite some pretty novel and highly competent filmmaking, Maniac adroitly eludes greatness. And I'm relieved."
2012 by technicality/2013 for peons
Directed by Franck Kalfoun
Written by Alexandre Aja, Gregory Levasseur, and Joseph Spinell
With Elijah Wood (Frank), Nora Amezeder (Anna), Megan Duffy (Lucie), Jan Broberg (Rita)
Spoiler alert: mild
Elijah Wood is the titular villain protagonist, the male gaze made manifest in its most abhorrent form, a sexually motivated killer of women. In theory. I guess.
