If there’s one thing you’re going to take away from the following three behind-the-scenes images from the set of the Maniac remake, it’s this – Elijah Wood is NOT screwing around. We like what we see!

The Daily Mail scored the images that you see below featuring Wood in character, knife held high and victim (Genevieve Alexandra) at his feet. The good natured Mr. Frodo would shit himself at the sight of such a scene.

Directed by Franck Khalfoun and produced by Alexandre Aja and Gregory Lavasseur, Maniac casts Wood in the role of a serial killer who works at a shop that sells antique mannequins. He finds victims on the Internet and stalks them like prey, all the while suffering from hallucinations that throw him back into the past when he was abused by his own mother. In his twisted mind he gains a measure of revenge against his mother with each kill.

The upcoming remake of the William Lustig film is shooting now in Los Angeles.
