31 scary movie moments - 13) The opening of Maniac (2012)

Franck Khalfoun’s remake of the infamous 80s slasher is brutal from the very start, even before we’ve had the main film title. Elijah Wood’s serial killer Frank Zito stalks a woman, and then murders and scalps her. It’s all set to a haunting 80s-esque synth score by Rob, leading into a really difficult and uncomfortable film to get through. The opening lets you know exactly what you’re in for, especially the first person perspective that places you as the killer.
