What critics compared The Driller Killer to
As Enid trudges through the claustrophobic subway tunnels, the film evokes Possession ’s windy subways and the 4:3 aspect schlocky films the censors watch bring to mind films like The Driller Killer and Evil Dead .
When Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead and Abel Ferrerra’s The Driller Killer are your high-end examples you know deep seediness is afoot.
Censor tells a story set in the trash-horror film world of the 1980s—in Britain, the era of gut-ripping "video nasty": pictures like Cannibal Holocaust, The Driller Killer, and Gestapo's Last Orgy.
Uncut versions of previously banned or butchered-to-death works like I Spit on Your Grave, The Last House on the Left, The Beyond or The Driller Killer were a button-push away.
One of the first “video nasties” was Abel Ferrara’s The Driller Killer , others include Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left , Cannibal Holocaust , and I Spit on Your Grave .
