The Blood Runs In Rivers...The Drill Keeps Drilling.
Long available in incomplete or full screen editions, Abel Ferrara's 1979 cult classic The Driller Killer here receives its definitive presentation, accompanied by three of the director's never-previously-released short films from the 1970s.
The Driller Killer stars Ferrara himself (under the pseudonym Jimmy Laine) as Reno Miller, an artist being driven mad by the pressures of New York life who takes to the streets and begins murdering derelicts with a power drill.
Although Ferrara intended to make a film in the tradition of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the end result bore an even greater resemblance to Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. The Driller Killer is an indispensable addition to the collection of anyone interested in 1970s horror, the work of Abel Ferrara, or off-the-wall cinema.

A classic? - 3 out of 5 (10/4/2004)
Unless you are a hardcore Horror fan that has the need to get every horror movie on dvd, you should probably stay away from this one. Even the drill scenes are not enough to save this movie. I did enjoy the bonus trailer for Nine Lives of a Wet Pussy though.
