Description: A simple story of a tortured artist, an up-and-coming rock band, young love, God…and the hardware store.
Not a very successful artist Renaud lives with his girlfriend Carol in an apartment building. The guy working on the next film, which was ordered by his manager. But the work has been slow, and Renault runs out of money. Lovers languish, eating cheap food, using drugs, drinking and constant bickering, which further exacerbates the emotional crisis of Reno. But things get worse when the apartment upstairs participants inhabit the rock group, day and night playing music and disturbing Reno work. As soon as his relationship with Carol begin to crumble, the artist, who suffers from hallucinations, buy electric drill and in a fit of madness begins to kill people …
Review: Time – that is the best test for good films. Each year hundreds of movies released, but only few are remembered and not age. 70 memorable “The Exorcist,” “The Omen,” Space “aliens” and certainly unforgettable creations Lucio Fulci. For “Killer with an electric drill” has no place.
Despite its intriguing title, the contents of the package have long expired. It is not directed at children’s attempts to scare “psychological pressure”, but rather in a cardboard film. Like, for example, “It’s alive!” Happening on the screen turns into a low-budget farce and indistinct.
If we put aside thoughts about the “failure suspense” and refer to the plot. It is all more or less successfully. History of poor but talented artist, losing my mind from their insane pictures. This is facilitated by noisy neighbors playing dirty punk rock all night long. And besides, my girlfriend lesbian throws it … Now, there are only one game – to run the city with an electric drill and drill the brain.
To the 21st century, “The Killer with an electric” gathering dust on the tracker. While this movie is far in the past … and sometimes you just for one second feel like in another era, shake the dust off of the movie and enjoy the old days … but this is rare, oh, how often …

Masterpiece. The psycological downfall of a N.Y. artist, with great atmosphere and outrivaled horror scenes. Strange as it may seems, this film was quite rare in Greece, released by two different labels, connected with each other, “Prestige” and “Memory.” And if i recall right, the lesbian scene does not appear in these versions. If wrong, i will correct this remark. But the most peculiar was another, extremly rare realese, called Sti folia tou shizofreni = In the Nest of the Shizoid, which has as cover the hatcheted man from Dario Arzento’s Tenebre!!!
