*** THE DRILLER KILLER FINAL SPECS AND ARTWORK ***

It is time to reveal the full specs and art for The Driller Killer and boy do we have something exciting to share! While working on our new 4K restoration it quickly became apparent that the original camera negative contained footage which wasn’t included in the theatrical version but instead represented an earlier cut. This longer version features five minutes of additional material, spread throughout the film. Abel Ferrara confirmed that he had intentionally trimmed this footage for his theatrical cut (which has formed the basis for all previous video and DVD masters) but also gave permission for us to include this never-before-seen version on our release!
