Day 5 of Halloween special, I witnessed the remake of "Maniac" with Elijah Wood.  As far as remakes go nothing new we all know the story of the original, and this brings nothing new to the table.  Except extra blood, more graphic killing, but I felt what was truly missing was the soul of the movie.  The original had a "feel" to it between actor and director that had a special bond between them.  Not to say the acting wasn't good in the remake, but the "feel" wasn't there this time.  I like Elijah and it was just a paint by numbers performance I thought, no extra umph.  It is watchable but not worthy of searching out.
