Movie Info

With a tagline that reads, "You don't have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre," this Spanish-Italian entry into slasher film territory went on to achieve a dubious distinction as one of the most tasteless films ever produced. The bloodshed opens in 1942 with a scene of a little boy axing his mother after her discovery of him piecing together a puzzle of a nude girl. Cut to 42 years later and the little ax-man has moved on to chainsaws as he begins buzzing coeds on the campus of a New England

As an example of sexist, racist sleaze, Pieces is an inadvertently amusing relic of early '80s grindhouse.

Armed with perhaps two of the funniest, most demented, and rapid fire twists in possibly all of film history!

As a mystery-thriller, the scenario is ridiculous to the point of being amateurish, but...you just can't look away.

Terrible movie. And a definite must-see. Plus the DVD is surprisingly rich and moist.

Director Juan Piquer Simon digs deep into his fellow Europeans' bag of terror tricks and comes up trumps more times than not.

In the slasher genre, this is as bad as they come.

Virtually every aspect of Pieces is inept, aside from moments of gore - which are admittedly quite spectacular.

Gory ridiculous fun! Some parts are just hilariously bad, but that all adds to the fun-factor. The murders are really quite graphic so gorehounds will definitely be satisfied with what is shown. A guilty pleasure for many out there - go see it for yourself!

Really bad. some of the most unbelievable dialogue you'll hear in a dumb slasher film. "The most beautiful thing in this world is smoking pot and fucking on a water bed, man!" "Oh dear god, what a mess! something obviously got butchered here.... well, i guess we better search the place!" "Ken, buddy, where have you
