The Driller Killer Ratings & Reviews
- Ambition MagicianDecember 13, 2025This guy is a classic psycho. I enjoyed this period piece. Oohh, the drilla killa! Watch this now!

- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025This 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.
