Starring: Christopher George & Linda Day George
Pesky serial killer at your university?
Rest assured, the fine folks at the Boston University that "Pieces" takes place at, had to deal with the same thing.
At the start of "Pieces," a child putting together a puzzle of a nude woman is caught by his mom only to be slapped and asked something among the lines of "Do you want to end up like your father?!"
Apparently the little boy does. When sent from the room by his mom to bring a trash bag to throw away the rest of his pornographic goodies, he returns with an axe and shows her how much that puzzle meant to him.
Fast forward 40 years and now there is a madman (with a yellow chainsaw) roaming a Boston College campus, killing girls and only taking the body parts he needs to make his own female body.
As a movie, "Pieces" can work two ways.
In order for it to work the first way, you have to be a fan of the genre. If you are into the genre, you will light up with glee every time you watch it. Nudity? Check. Gnarly Gore? Check. Terrible dubbing? You bet!
The other way "Pieces" can work is as a party movie.
Call up a few friends, buy a twelve pack of Dr. Pepper, and just have fun watching "Pieces." You and your friends can laugh at the terrible dialogue, gawk at some boobies, or cringe at the gore.
Is it the overly male student that finds it easy to get laid?
Is it the homosexual anatomy professor?
Is it the all-to-eager-to-help Dean?
Or is it the creepy maintenance man (with a yellow chainsaw)?
Watch "Pieces" and find out. With several "OMG WTF?!" scenes (particularly the very end), the only thing you stand to lose by not watching "Pieces" is a good time.
Highly Recommended
For Fans of Exploitation, Sleaze, and Cult Cinema.

You are a great writer. I love your style, approach, and sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteI realize that your interest in "horror film" is very strong.
Will you teach me how to write?
Lets watch some of those movies, particularly the less "scary" ones.
