The Driller Killer
The Driller Killer
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.

This was like if Three’s Company replaced Jack Tripper with Travis Bickle……and then he proceeded to kill a bunch of bums with a power drill.
A grimy and squalid depiction of a Bohemian existence, Reno is a starving artist just trying to make rent when an infomercial and $19.95 unlocks a new ability and unleashes an “outlet” for his rage.
This film has a scuzzy aesthetic, a discordant music/sound design and an even nastier outlook.
Not necessarily the most enjoyable watch but I was compelled throughout. Some of the drill kills are impressively gruesome.
