For the most part, most people have come to equate the actor Elijah Wood with
Frodo Baggins, his character in the
Lords of the Rings series. His big feet and pointy hobbit ears are what we visualize while whispering a raspy, medieval "
Frooo~dooo~".
So it completely took us by surprise when we watched the remake of
Maniac (1980), where Wood stars as Frank, the psychotic serial killer who slashes women to death and then scalps them. You'll totally forget that he was ever a friendly, warm-hearted hobbit that went on an adventure to rid an evil ring.
