Stars: Abel Ferrara, Carolyn Marz, Baybi Day, Harry Schultz, Alan Wynroth, Maria Helhoski, James O’Hara, Richard Howorth, Louis Mascolo, Tommy Santora | Written by Nicholas St. John | Directed by Abel Ferrara
I have something of a love hate relationship with The Driller Killer. Depending on my mood I really like it, yet at other times it just doesn’t connect. This may be down to the versions I’ve seen: the cut, the picture quality, etc. With Arrow Video’s latest Blu-ray release though, there are no excuses as to whether I like it or not – it’s time to make a decision!
Abel Ferrara both directs and stars in the story of Reno Miller, the artist struggling to survive in New York City. Failing to make an impact with his art, cracks begin to show in his sanity and a psychotic alter-ego takes over. Attacking vagrants on the streets...

“Driller Killer” (1979)
Directed By: Abel Ferrara
Written By: Nicholas St. John
Starring: Abel Ferrara (Reno Miller), Carolyn Marz (Carol), Baybi Day (Pamela), Harry Shultz (Dalton), Alan Mynroth (Landlord), Maria Helhoski (The Nun), Richard Howorth (Stephen), Louis Mascolo (Knife Victim ), Tommy Santora (Attacker)
I had heard so many people praise this movie that I was truly looking forward to a great late 70s movie. Unfortunately, I was let down by how this Driller Killer drags and does not hold up very well at all today. I had my expectations high but apparently that’s not what I should have done going into this movie. This film was panned as a video nasty in the UK and banned upon its inception. The movie was first released in the United States by Charles Band’s Wizard Video label in 1982. It is now in the public domain.
