In career that has
encompassed such controversial classics as Ms. 45, Bad Lieutenant and Welcome
to New York, none of Abel Ferrara's films have quite managed to match the
shock, extremity and downright notorious nature of The Driller Killer. Ferrara plays struggling artist Reno, a man pushed to the edge by
the economic realities of New York living in the late seventies and the No Wave
band practising in the apartment below. His grip on reality soon begins to slip
and he takes to stalking the streets with his power tool in search of prey... Forget
Taxi
Driver, The Warriors and The New York Ripper, The Driller Killer is the definitive
look at NYC's underbelly - a slasher that is as much at home in the arthouse as
it is the grindhouse.
