Please note this is a region 2 DVD & will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play Director Abel Ferrara's (BAD LIEUTENANT) first major feature has an infamous reputation but is actually more of an art film than a straightforward bloodletter Tortured & penniless artist Reno (Ferrara) & his girlfriends Carol (Carolyn Marz) & Pamela (Baybi Day) hang out at their New York loft enduring such problems as the phone bill the rent & a rock band that's always practicing downstairs When it all becomes too much Reno grabs his drill & runs through the city on all-night rampages Eventually Carol moves out Reno's paintings don't sell & things just get worse from there Shot on gritty 16mm THE DRILLER KILLER has a distinctly 1970s New York underground feel--a low-rent artistic quality that makes it seem like a cross between TAXI DRIVER & ANDY WARHOL'S TRASH (with drilling) The film benefits from some moody lighting & Ferrara's brave insight into the psyche Reno's mental disintegration manages to be chillingly believable & a potent statement on the place of the artist in modern society A surprise hit on the drive-in circuit this was rereleased in 1981 to capitalize on the teenage slasher movie boom (and the success of Ferrara's second film MS 45) Actors Jimmy Laine Carolyn Marz Babi Day Bob De Frank Peter Yellen Directors Abel Ferrara Format Dolby PALLanguage English Region Region 2 (This DVD may not be viewable outside Europe Read more about DVD formats) Aspect Ratio 43
