Maniac is only the third directorial outing for Khalfoun and his first film since Wrong Turn at Tahoe back in 2009.

9 Clip

The animation movie genre really has a had a good year so far with the likes of Up, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and Monsters vs Aliens all doing well at the box office.

And this trend looks set to continue with the Tim Burton produced movie 9.

When 9 (Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world.

All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction.

Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good.

They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

Take a look at a sneal peak clip from the movie:
