The Strangler of Syggrou
1989, Greek. Directed by Dimitris Tzelas.
Greek horror‑thriller and SOV remake of Maniac, set in late‑’80s Athens. Angelos, a seemingly mild‑mannered window‑display mannequin maker, is haunted by grief and obsession. After crafting a doll in memory of his beloved wife, he spirals into madness—strangling sex workers along Sygrou Avenue and fashioning mannequins from their corpses as twisted trophies.
