Here is a fun fact - I did not know that this was a re-make of an older movie until right this very second. So the movie is shot mostly in first person view where you are the eyes of the killer which is a neat take on filming in my opinion (we all know I love the first person view). The movie follows a very disturbed manikin store owner who had a traumatizing childhood watching his mother sleep around with strangers and do drugs (right in front of him which is gross). Growing up with mommy problems, he grew into someone who had all kinds of relationship problems. You follow the "maniac" (or crazy Frodo) as he murders women and removes their scalp and hair and takes it with him as a sort of trophy. He fits these trophies to his manikins and they become the women he has murdered so that he can keep them forever. When he meets the love of his life, she soon uncovers his secret and succombs to his murderous tendencies. This movie was SO rowdy and I really did not expect it to be as crazy as it was. I absolutely loved it. I especially loved that while one of the girls is dancing and trying to bait him to sleep with her that the music from Silence of the Lambs is playing in the background (the part where he's looking in the mirror). It was very interesting seeing Elijah in this sort of role as opposed to playing in Lord of the Rings. I gave this one a four and now am excited to look up the original!
