The Driller Killer (1979) Movie Summary

  • HORROR
  • Unrated
  • 1979
  • FULL HD

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… One of the most infamous ‘video nasties’, in part thanks to its drill-in-head sleeve, The Driller Killer has lost none of its power to unnerve and is presented here fully uncut.

The Driller Killer Film Synopsis

An artist slowly goes insane while struggling to pay his bills, work on his paintings, and care for his two female roommates, which leads him taking to the streets of New York after dark and randomly killing derelicts with a power drill.

Español
Reno Miller (Abel Ferrara) es un artista que, sofocado por los agobios y las exigencias de la vida urbana, ha ido hundiéndose progresivamente en una espiral de locura y, a pesar de su esfuerzo por resistirse, encuentra que ya no tiene otra forma de desahogarse que no sea el recorrer los callejones de Nueva York, armado con un taladro, en busca de carne dónde hundirlo.

Dem Maler Reno Miller wachsen die Probleme über den Kopf: Geldnöte, Ärger mit seinem Händler, Pech in der Liebe und nicht zuletzt die Rock-Band, die direkt neben seinem Apartment bis spät in die Nacht laut herumschraddelt machen ihm zu schaffen. Die nervliche Belastung wird für Reno so stark, dass er den Verstand verliert. Um seinem Ärger Luft zu machen, schleicht er nachts durch die Straßen New Yorks und tötet wahllos Obdachlose mit einem Akku-Bohrer.

Pasolini summary, synopsis, reviews
PasoliniDrama2019

The Roman life and the imaginary worlds of Pier Paolo Pasolini intermingle in Abel Ferrara’s retelling of the final days in the life of the fifty-year-old filmmaker and writer, in a lovely, haunting film that draws on his last interview and envisages scenes from an unmade final film and his incomplete novel, Petrolio. Willem Dafoe, regally exhausted, is the spitting image of the murdered director, and Pasolini’s beloved muse Ninetto Davoli returns to “finish” his friend’s work, but Ferrara wisely never attempts to merely ape Pasolini’s style, instead offering one iconoclastic artist’s tribute to another, a biopic that busts the boundaries of the form and a passion project decades in the imagining that gives Pasolini’s final moments on the beach at Ostia the terrible sanctity of the Passion.

4:44 Last Day On Earth summary, synopsis, reviews
4:44 Last Day On EarthDrama2012

In a large apartment high above the city lives our couple. They’re in love. She’s a painter, he’s a successful actor. Just a normal afternoon - except that this isn’t a normal afternoon, for them or anyone else. Because tomorrow, at 4:44 am, give or take a few seconds, the world will come to an end far more rapidly than even the worst doomsayer could have imagined. The final meltdown will come, not without warnings, but with no means of escape. There will be no survivors. As always, there are those who, as their final cigarette is being lit and the blindfold tightened, will still hope against hope for some kind of reprieve. For a miracle. Not our two lovers. They - like the majority of the Earth’s population - have accepted their fate; the world is going to end.

Tommaso summary, synopsis, reviews
TommasoDrama2020

Abel Ferrara’s first dramatic feature since 2014’s Pasolini reteams the filmmaker and his frequent lead Willem Dafoe, who delivers a career-best performance as the title character, an older American expat living in Rome with his young wife and their daughter. Disoriented by his past misgivings and subsequent, unexpected blows to his self-esteem, Tommaso wades through this late chapter of his life with an increasingly impaired grasp on reality as he prepares for his next film. Tommaso is easily Ferrara and Dafoe’s most personal and engrossing collaboration to date, a delicately surrealistic work of autofiction marked by the keen sensitivity of two consummate artists.
