Short description

As he helps a young artist with her upcoming exhibition, the owner of a mannequin shop's deadly, suppressed desires come to the surface.

What's left behind the scenes

After Frank kills the girl in the parking lot, he stands with a knife in one hand and a scalp in the other. His reflection can be seen in the car door, stylized as a poster for the original film "Maniac" (1980).
All of Elijah Wood's lines were written during post-production, however, the actor was present on set from beginning to end, even when he wasn't in the frame. During filming, he simply stood behind the camera operator.
When Frank meets a girl on a dating site, she says she pictured him as overweight, with long black hair and problem skin. This is exactly how the protagonist of the original film looked.
