Filmed almost entirely in first person, Maniac follows a deranged
young man, Frank (Elijah Wood, Sin City, seen in mirror shots and in photographs), who
hunts down
beautiful women and takes their scalp back to his mannequin studio in a horrifically violent ritual.
Amongst those who live through the crash are several prominent characters; Jack (Matthew Fox), a skilled surgeon who becomes the unofficial leader of the group; Kate (Evangeline Lilly), a
beautiful, but tough
woman with a dark past; Sayid (Naveen Andrews), a former Iraqi soldier who is good with electronics; Michael (Harold Perrineau), a head - strong man who has just recently taken custody of his son, Walt (Malcom David Kelley); Claire (Emilie de Ravin), a
young woman who is 8 - months pregnant; Charlie (Dominic Monaghan), a washed - up rock star who clings to his band's one hit; Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Sun (Yoon - jin Kin), a Korean couple who don't speak English; Hurley (Jorge Garcia), an obese
young man who is very laid back; Locke (Terry O'Quinn), a man who seems to know about
hunting and weapons; Sawyer (Josh Holloway), a scoundrel who hordes items he finds in the wreckage; and Boone (Ian Somerhalder) and Shannon (Maggie Grace), spoiled rich - kids siblings.
