Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Rainey Dawn Well the story started out OK... a guy who is an artist and his girlfriend and there is another female roommate living there with them. They can barely pay the rent and phone bills. The girlfriend is mainly paying everything with her alimony checks, the other girl I'm unsure of and the guy is trying to complete his next piece of artwork for some money. A punk rock band moves in the apartment building and plays the music loudly and it's getting on the artist's nerves the art dealer hates his finished art, rejects it and refuses to pay him anything for it. The guy snaps and gets a drill and starts killing with it.The film was fine up until I saw the first murder and realized it definitely is not my kind of film... I figured that already but gave the film a whirl and I was right to begin with, it's not my thing or should I say style of horror film.Punk Rock music was fine -- just not my style of horror that's all!1/10

PeterMitchell-506-564364 You know I came across this movie, I'd be longing to see, I joined up with a video shop, way out of my area, cause I couldn't get this title anywhere else. Knowing it was an Abel Ferrara film, I was expecting this to be much more gorier, (his gore always shocks) watching some nut go around killing people with a drill. Well.... I was almost, stupefied. I couldn't believe what I was watching. It was the drill that let me down, kind of not keeping up his part of the bargain. Abel plays the nut, and does it well I might add. He's a kind of Lou Reed looking character, a struggling and loud artist, sharing a loft with too girls. As pressure from all sides takes it's toll, he snaps, going out there onto the streets, in the dead of night with his mack drill, and killing derelicts. The pizza chomping scene, I remember well in this disappointing unshocker. On the most part, the film actually bores. I'd probably see it again, one day, out of curiosity, just to confirm my analyzation, but I'm steadfast with this one, as I'm rarely wrong.

Tim Kidner The version I saw (or tried to) was on The Horror Channel and for most of the time, I could not even make out what I was seeing, let alone relish in the supposed notorious gory 'video-nasty' bits. I might as well have not worn my spectacles (I'm strongly short-sighted) for the difference they would have made.Darkness came across as giant globules of pixelated olive green instead of black and it all must have been recorded with the microphones still in their boxes, as it's muffled, dull and horribly distorted.Any potential tension originally intended has long been evaporated by the sheer strain of trying to follow it, though the "story", such as it was, is trite, mostly domestic and very boring. It was only that the presumed promise that more vital drilling into live people would make watching further less of a chore that I didn't simply switch off.

super-leeds I'd heard all the hype for years surrounding this movie,been banned,scary,video nasty etc etc...i'd never got round to watching it till last month as i saw it for £1 in discount media store so i thought why not? taking into account it's a film from the 70's so cant have too high expectations,as old movies don't have the best acting and special affects do they? well? i was blown away by how bad this movie was???? i mean it has to go down has one of the worse movies i have ever seen in my entire life! I can appreciate it's age but come on? the acting was shocking and the dialogue was even worse? in fact most of that was drowned out by the awful music the movie had in abundance (or should i just call it a loud noise?) and whats a video nasty about it?why was it banned? a few people got a drill to head? with poor affects? i could have made better effects in that decade using a kids play set,compared to movies in that year such as ALIEN,AMITYVILLE,WHEN A STRANGER CALLS,ZOMBIE etc etc.. OK it was a low budget but so have other movies? right? Blair witch? paranormal activity? there is no excuse for the this crap,all evidence of this movie wants to be buried really deep in the nearest land-fill,to be honest when i finished watching it i took it out the DVD player and Frisbee'd it straight out my back door and i think that was way better fun :D or maybe we could post all the copy's back to the director and he can use em to shade his embarrassment. i advise people to stay away from this movie,it is pure AWFUL.
