Driller killer 1979

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.

From the widely banned 1979 slasher, "The Driller Killer", it's Reno Miller.

If you've seen the '70s cult classic horror film, Driller Killer, then you are no doubt familiar with the fictional punk band, Tony Cola and the Roosters. In the film, unsuccessful New York artist Reno Miller is seen living off the largesse of his gallerist, and unable to break through a creative block. Facing an eviction deadline and a painting due in a week, he's already on the edge of snapping. Complicating things is his new neighbor, Tony Cola, whose band practices incessantly next door, causes Miller to lose his grip on reality. He snaps and embarks on a killing spree with the movie’s eponymous power tool. If you're into punk, Tony Cola and the Roosters isn't too bad, but hearing them incessantly could drive anyone crazy.
