Driller Killer Shorts
Description: The Driller Killer is a 1979 horror film that focuses on Reno Miller, an artist struggling to survive in NYC. He draws inspiration from scenes of daily street life and occasional random violence. Under pressure to finish his oft-delayed grand masterpiece, his psychotic alter-ego takes over, and he begins killing random vagrants to boost his creativity, not quite realizing that it is happening in reality. When an art dealer grimly rejects Reno's finished masterpiece, Reno's mental condition quickly deteriorates and things go downhill fast.
Description: We first see this text during the opening of Abel Ferrara's exploitation Video Nasty-piece, DRILLER KILLER. Anyone who has ever heard The Roosters would probably wanna go on a drill-killing frenzy, too. (It was also featured in Martin Scorsese's documentary THE LAST WALTZ, based around rock group The Band.)
