I can remember the first time I saw this movie, after hearing great things about it and it's some what dubious reputation, I was expecting something outstanding, but when I first watched it I was sorely disappointed, okay everyone has they're own opinion but to my knowledge at the time I found this movie loud and extremely hard to follow. But on further viewings, I gave this movie a few chances, I still don't really see what the fuss is all about.
The plot = An artist who lives in a run down New York apartment with his girlfriend and her friend, where things start to go wrong at every turn for him, he can't pay his bills, his relationship is failing and he begins to crumble and lose his mind and sets out on a murderous rampage.
Okay firstly the good points of this movie is that it does show creativity by showing the main character's worsening mental state which I found totally believable, and the murders are quite graphic but it does take too long for that to happen, and showing so much of the main character's spiral into madness does become uneasy and unsettling to watch, it just borders on loudness. And not just that the scenes don't quite flow together and the pacing is uneven, and there are just way too many pointless scenes that don't really add anything to this movie, but I do like the grittyness and grainy quality of this movie though.
All in all "Driller Killer" is an okayish movie just not to my taste.
