Severin Film sis preparing a 4KBlu-ray release of Franck Khalfoun's Maniac (2012), starring Elijah Wood, Nora Arnezeder, America Olivo, Liane Balaban, and Jan Broberg. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market later this Summer.
Description: Father Son Holy Gore calls it "intense, innovative and disturbing." Bloody Good Horror says, "it raises the bar for what a remake should be." Now the film that Bloody Disgusting proclaims "a modern horror classic" – produced by Alexandre Aja (HIGH TENSION), Academy Award® winner Thomas Langmann (THE ARTIST), the original's creator William Lustig and directed by Franck Khalfoun (P2) – defiles your senses in UHD for the first time ever:
In a career-redefining turn, Elijah Wood of THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy stars as a young man whose mind seethes with madness while his body commits unspeakable acts of depravity, all of which you will personally witness through the eyes of a maniac. Nora Arnezeder (ARMY OF THE DEAD) co-stars in "one of those rare genre remakes that stands on its own while recapturing the original's spirit" (Fangoria), scanned in 4K with over 3 hours of new and archival Special Features that explore the entire MANIAC legacy.
