Two Witches Films announced the horror film Frankie, Maniac Woman will be in select theaters on April 24, 2026. The film first premiered at the 2025 Grimmfest, where Dina Silva won Best Actress.
“With Frankie, Maniac Woman, we set out to create a serial killer story that is chaotic and intimate, violent and vulnerable—a slasher with a soul. I wanted to make the kind of slasher that feels dangerous again, where comedy and brutality live in the same breath. At its core, the film is a raw, unapologetic exploration of what happens when someone is pushed past their breaking point, using Frankie’s descent as both a character study and a reflection of the pressures we put on women in image-driven industries” said director Pierre Tsigaridis.
Battling against the legacy of childhood trauma, internalised misogyny, and the image-obsessed fat shaming of the LA music business, aspiring singer-songwriter Frankie Ramirez (Dina Silva) finally snaps, with bloody results.
“Frankie’s story speaks to the pressure women face to fit impossible standards. She is the most personal character I’ve ever played—she represents every version of myself that felt unseen, judged, or pushed aside. As a comedic actor, it was really exciting to explore how humor and darkness can coexist, and to bring that duality into the character. Telling her story was both cathartic and terrifying. I didn’t want to hold anything back, and I hope audiences feel that authenticity and intensity” said Silva.
Frankie, Maniac Woman is directed by Pierre Tsigaridis and co-written and produced by Tsigaridis and Dina Silva who is also an executive producer. The film stars Dina Silva (Two Witches) alongside Stefanie Estes (Josephine, Soft And Quiet), Tim Fox (“Westworld”), Jordan Debarge (“Squid Game: The Challenge), Rocío de la Grana (“Moxie”), Pierre Tsigaridis (Traumatika), and Daniella Mendoza (The Entity).
