Review of The Driller Killer (1979) by The N — 17 May 2016
My favorite independent film. The first from director Abel Ferrara (King of New York, Bad Lieutenant) This is an OLD SCHOOL grindhouse flick about an artist living in Manhattan. While he's working on his painting, a PUNK BAND (keep in mind this is 1979) moves in to the apartment beneath him.
Eventually, the artist loses his mind, grabs an electric drill off his art shelf and goes on a killing spree drilling the random homeless of New York City. If you like old school punk, random gore and TRUE independent grindhouse cinema, then this movie is for you.
