The Driller Killer, 1979

You can also find this review on Letterboxd

I should have paid more attention to this movie. I feel like I either just didn't understand what was going on or this movie really was this crazy.

It's about Reno (director Abel Ferrara), a poor artist. Then there is this band ... and I think they move in with him to pay the rent. But I'm not sure. Anyway, every now and then we just take 3 minutes of the movie to let them play a song and then go back to the story. After some while, Reno goes crazy and starts killing people with a drill.

So yeah, maybe I should have paid more attention, but recently I watched a movie in japanese with german subtitles and I could follow it easily, so maybe Driller Killer was maybe just not good enough to hold my attention. Which is a bad thing...

The acting was okay, and the story was crazy. The kills were good though, they looked realistic enough to win back my attention for a few minutes.

The ending was pretty good, I liked the way it ended.

But I guess I'll have to rewatch it, trying to focus. Until then I won't give it a rating because maybe it was just my fault.

Up next: Toxic Zombies, I can't wait.
