America Olivo (Bitch Slap) is joining the Alexandre Aja-produced remake of the gory 1980 slasher Maniac. Directed by Franck Khalfoun (P2), the redo stars Elijah Wood as Frank Zito, a sadistic killer haunted by hallucinations of his abusive mother who seeks women online to murder and scalp.

Olivo will have the fucked-up honor of playing Zito’s milfy mom. The film, currently shooting in Los Angeles, also stars French actress Nora Arnezeder (Safe House) as Zito’s girlfriend Anna and some people named Sal Landi, Dan Hunter, Steffinnie Phrommany and Morgane Slemp.

Olivo, who made her horror debut in Platinum Dunes’ Friday the 13th remake, will next be seen in WWE Studios’ No One Lives and Indican Pictures’ serial-killer drama Circle. Previous creds include Rick Jacobson’s (“Spartacus: Blood and Sand”) Bitch Slap and the Lionsgate thrillers Last Resort and Neighbor.
