Driller Killer, The [1979, Abel Ferrara]

in #movie7 years ago


An artist slowly goes insane while struggling to pay his bills, work on his paintings, and care for his two female roommates, which leads him taking to the streets of New York after dark and randomly killing derelicts with a power drill.

The Driller Killer is a 1979 black comedy horror film directed by Abel Ferrara and starring Ferrara (credited as Jimmy Laine), Carolyn Marz, Baybi Day, and Harry Schultz. The plot concerns Reno Miller, a struggling artist in New York City, turning insane from stress and killing derelicts with a power drill.

The film was infamous for being on the list of "video nasties" in the United Kingdom, resulting the film banned from 1984 (due to new censorship laws) until 1999, when a cut version was approved for an 18 (years of age) certificate. The full uncut version was finally passed by the BBFC in November 2002. On 10 June 2010 it was re-released as video on demand (VOD).

The film is in the public domain.

Haven't seen this movie, I gotta watch it!!

iam afraid of horror movies

interesting, i just finish to download it.

The IPFS link is very useful, as I cannot watch anything on DTube.

I like finding a classic to watch, but I decided our world has turned into a nightmare, too many really ugly things are happening, so I will only watch good feel stories.

I sort of feel I am already being driven crazy by the constant barrage of evil plus the threats to our way of living - and for all I know, to the existence of Mankind.
Still I appreciate the post and the way you provided its history. It was what I call a good post.

thanks for the post very useful. share permission ..?
