We get a good amount of gore and quite a few tit shots.
PIECES 1982 TAGLINE MOVIE
When you're making a low budget horror movie with bad acting and a laughable script, you have to give the audience some reason to watch. Genius! If Pieces did anything right it was making the death scenes extremely brutally over the top (for the time). I also love how the killer gets into an elevator with an intended victim and hides the massive yellow chainsaw behind his back so she can't see it. Such doozies include "the most beautiful thing in the world is smoking pot and fucking on a waterbed at the same time" and "what if you gag me, huh, I wouldn't make any noises then" and of course my absolute favorite "YOU BASTARD!".you have to see this one yourself to believe it. Let's not even mention the ridiculous ending shot that exists solely to give the audience a last minute Carrie scare.Īnd can we talk about the script for a second? Sometimes brilliant and sometimes atrocious, it features some of the funniest effing lines which are enhanced to side splitting humor with the delivery by the bad actors. The movie was made for probably next to nothing and it definitely shows. Although he has set up some interesting shots, there's not enough to find it visually interesting. And the direction by Juan Piquer Simón is rather mediocre at best. The identity of the killer will come as no shock to anyone who's been paying the least bit attention to the movie. He's not interesting in the least bit and I don't understand how he's able to smash out all these smoke shows because by all accounts he's the definition of an uber goober. We spend WAY too much screen time with Pimp Mack Daddy. There's no clear lead of the film either as the new teacher isn't really introduced until almost the midpoint. We have no victims who even remotely care about or identify with. For one thing, most of the characters that get butchered are introduced merely minutes before their gruesome demises. I totally dig the concept of the film, but the execution was less than stellar. Now he targets the young erection educing new teacher (who's really an undercover cop) of the college and it's up to some police detectives and the pimp mack daddy of the campus to find out who the killer is before he chops off her feet. The killer takes different pieces of each girl in a sick live action version of his childhood puzzle. We cut to about 40 years later or so and the supposed same little boy has now grown up and is dismembering sexy women on a New England college campus. Where the hell can I get one of those puzzles?! Now I just have one question about this scene. He instead discards of her with an axe in an anti Oedipus twist. His curvy mother catches him and forces him to discard all of the contents of his spank bank. The prologue of the movie is astoundingly absurd and hysterical in the best way possible with a naughty little perverted boy playing with a naked lady puzzle. Was this the second coming of The House on Sorority Row that knocked my socks off years ago? Or would it be more like my first viewing of Don’t Go in the Woods that left me wanting to bitch slap the shit out of everyone who recommended it. Excitement filled my brain like it does every time I watch an 80s horror film that has somehow eluded me over the years. The DVD goes for a hefty chunk of change on line so imagine my excitement when a friend let me borrow their copy. I've heard some horribly phenomenal things about it and could not wait to get my hands on a copy. Pieces is one of those movies that's been on my to-watch list for years now.
