Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, Murderer tells the story of Monsieur Durand, a mysterious killer who has seemingly chooses his victims at random, murders them and then leaves a calling card with his name.

Out this week is Franck Khalfoun's remake of William Lustig's 1980 horror film, Maniac. Following mentally disturbed loner Frank (Elijah Wood) who has quite severe mummy issues, he captures unsuspecting women in LA before finding rather interesting ways of murdering them and scalping them completely. He then uses the scalps of his victims to 'bring to life' the mannequins that he surrounds himself with, but he always sees his mum and all her faults.
