Hank Azaria (‘Run Fatboy Run’), America Olivo (‘Bitch Slap’, ‘No One Lives’) and Sal Landi also star in the upcoming slash fest. Maniac’ will receive its premiere at this years Cannes Film Festival which runs from 16 to 27 May. Check out the new stills below.
“Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition.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.”
