Much like other franchises like Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th, Pieces relies heavily on showing memorable kills over good storytelling holding everything together. If crazy and outrageous horror is your thing then Pieces delivers, and while there are many other movies out there worthy of your time, it’s worth a watch just to see how unbelievable and absurd things get. As they say, it really is exactly what one would expect… and that’s no bad thing. With the tagline ‘It’s exactly what you think it is!’ the story is directed by Juan Piquer Simón ( Slugs), who brings to life an unflinching and uncompromising vision of a maniac with a chainsaw who likes to collect body parts.
#Pieces 1982 uncut movie#
Originally released in 1982, this movie is often missed out in horror discussion, yet remains a curious and strangely popular tale simply because it has a complete lack of shame over what it is. It’s a well-known approach, especially in Italian cinema over the years, and Arrow Films’ latest release, Pieces, takes much of its influence from there.
The exploitation trend in horror movies often ignores all attempts at telling an interesting or even logical story, instead throwing as much sex and violence at the audiences as possible in an attempt to appall and excite them. It’s a genre that never dies through telling new stories, retelling old ones, or adapting foreign releases, and there are plenty of bloodthirsty fans waiting for their next fix. The slasher sub-genre, in particular, has been done to death since Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees carved up dozens of sequel between them. Fans are spoilt for choice, although you have to approach most horror titles with low expectations a lot of the time.
Horror is a competitive film genre, simply because of how many releases there are each year.
