Comparison between the cut British DVD from Visual Film (BBFC 18) and the uncut US DVD from Cult Epics (Not Rated).

"The Driller Killer" is Abel Ferraras first feature film after shooting short films and trailers. He himself (under the pseudonym Jimmy Laine) played the lead role of reno, a frustrated artist who snaps one day and starts killing of people with his power drill.
What sounds a little plump is actually one of the more disturbing independent films.
When the film was released in Great Britain in the 80ies it fell victim to protesters against horror and violent films and made it onto the list of the Video Nasties.
When the film was rated by the BBFC in 1999, the distributor had to make some minor cuts. Only in the year 2002 it passed the rating procedure with no cuts made.
