driller killer (1979)

The artist Reno Miller (Abel Ferrara) shares a loft with his girlfriend Carol (Carolyn Marz), and Pamela (Baybi Day). He spends his days battling to finish what he believes to be his masterpiece. The pressure of this and the continuous rehearsals of the punk band downstairs cause Reno to loose sleep, sending him into psychosis. This madness compels him to take to the streets, taking his frustrations out on the homeless, with a portable drill!
Despite its tarring as a video nasty, this is actually a well thought out, though rough looking film, mirroring the New York in which the protagonist lives.
