MONDO MOXIE is a monthly showcase of fringe, underrated, and weirdo cinema.
Showing an even seedier side of 1970s New York than TAXI DRIVER, Abel Ferrara’s landmark art-horror debut provides a look back to when Manhattan was an unforgiving labyrinth, a city of sleaze-inciting panic. Starving artist Reno (played by director Ferrara) lives in a squalid tenement and is plagued with nightmarish visions. Tenuously clinging to sanity, Reno loses it when a punk band moves in next door and he takes to the streets to vent his rage . . . with a power drill. DRILLER KILLER strikes an impressive balance between punk atmosphere and horror shocks. And as a bonus, the movie features some of the most repulsive on-screen pizza eating that you'll ever see.
