Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

When the general public thinks of a slasher film with no redeeming value whatsoever, chances are they're thinking about this movie. It is at the same time the best and worst film you've ever watched. But more importantly, it is never ever boring.Back in 1942, a young boy named Timmy was putting together a jigsaw puzzle of a naked woman. His mother, understandably, is upset and demands he get a garbage bag to throw the puzzle away. Instead, he came back with an axe to her head and then cut her up with a hacksaw. He hides in a closet and the police send him to live with his aunt, as they believe whoever killed his mother had escaped.This all happens within the first minute of this movie. Yes, Pieces packs more gore and strangeness into sixty records than most movies do in ninety minutes.Forty years later, a man in black opens a box that has the bloody clothing of Timmy's mom and a photograph of her. He opens the nude jigsaw puzzle, which is covered in blood and begins to play with it. I hope he has all the pieces! This is why we never buy old puzzles at the thrift store.Cut to (no pun intended) a girl studying outside, who gets her head chopped off by a chainsaw and stolen. Lt. Bracken (Christopher George, Day of the Animals, City of the Living Dead) and Sgt. Holden (Frank Braña, Yellow Hair and the Fortress of Gold, If You Shoot…You Live, God Forgives…I Don't!) start their investigation, meeting the dean (Edmund Purdom, Absurd, 2019: After the Fall of New York) and anatomy Professor Brown (Jack Taylor, Horror of the Zombies, Conan the Barbarian). Rounding out our suspects would be Willard (Paul Smith, Bluto from Altman's Popeye, one of the first movies that I remember hating as a child), a groundskeeper who is using a chainsaw.Then, in the library, Kendall gets a note from a girl, telling him to come see her at the pool. The killer reads the note first and chainsaws the girl to, well, pieces. Willard is arrested and the detectives find the chainsaw and the girl's body…except for her torso (no, not 1973's Torso).Read more at http://bit.ly/2zuwUTs

If you want copious gore, terrible dubbing/acting, non-sensical scenes, and a killer who uses a chainsaw, then this is going to be right up your alley. There are some great effects and the overall plot of a killer making a human jigsaw puzzle is disturbing enough that you can overlook all of the hilarious weirdness. Well worth watching if you like trash cinema and/or slasher movies. And what the heck was with the kung fu guy that appears for NO reason?!?!?!?

Wow. This has to be one of the WORST (if not severely) horror movies I've probably ever seen; there's more crud aside from this. I know everyone likes this movie, but not for me. Terrible voice acting, cinematography, gaffes and the most godawful ending in horror history - that back then when I first came to this film and watched that horrific scene - it utterly scarred me for life. After all, it's been five years since that unexpected ending had scarred me; today it's futile and I'm used to it. Especially with this movie.The only acclaims for this movie are the special effects and definitely the Spanish version of this movie - the dialogue is not as shoddy as the American one, seems to be darker in tone and the music is more upbeat. It took me this far and nearly the end of my high school career to come to this point and watch the whole film again in all it's glory. Watching it today doesn't have any effect on me like it used to - it's just downright fruitless. The only tweak I'd like to see today is have this film re-cut - not for just some of the violence, but to cut down on the inconsistencies, dialogue and certain, grueling scenes - for an R-rating. Three to four minutes could be possible. Until then, to pieces - or hell - with this!

This 1982 horror film stars Christopher George, Lynda Day, Ian Sera, Edmund Purdom and Paul L. Smith. This begins with a young boy working on a jigsaw puzzle and soon he kills his demanding mother. Forty years later, a mysterious killer starts butchering selected victims at a college campus with chainsaws and knives. He uses their parts to make a jigsaw puzzle in the form of a body. The late, George (Graduation Day) plays police lieutenant, Bracken who tries to find the killer, George's wife, Day plays tennis player, Mary Riggs, Sera plays student, Kendall who helps the police, Purdom plays the Dean and Smith (Popeye) plays grounds keeper, Willard. This is a decent slasher flick with some gruesome deaths and a good, atmospheric score I recommend for fans of the genre.
