Reviews for Murder Set Pieces
Murder Set-Pieces is recommended for the fan of unvarnished exploitation grue; for those needing a little more style with the substance, dig deeper into your Argento collection.
Palumbo has managed to take the best pieces of horror, thriller, and truth and patch them together in a tirade of horrific and disturbing imagery.
Aspires to be a highly stylized exploration of the mind of a serial killer, but it's nothing more than a gory, bloodsoaked snuff film, reveling in its own shock value as women are stabbed, strangled, raped and mutilated.
The director Nick Palumbo is determined to shock through a fictional German-born serial killer, who makes his mission clear with every thrust of knife blade and pelvis.
An interesting effort to make the ultimate horror movie by imitating modern classics of the genre in a systematic way.
The lowest form of cinematic life, a movie so utterly degenerate it makes you wish that indie filmmakers had to prove a basic standard of decency in order to buy a camera.
Pic's nastiness is so insistent, one-dimensional and excessive it risks self-parody.
A rather sickening marathon strung together by the flimsiest of subplots and populated exclusively by blood-soaked strippers.
