Pieces
Directed by Juan Piquer Simon
A chainsaw killer mutilates college kids in this 80's slasher favorite. In the 1940's Timmy chopped his uptight mother into little pieces. 40 years later, a series of murders trouble the police. Is Timmy back? 80's audiences who went to PIECES expecting a standard slasher were left speechless by this unintentionally hilarious (and very-violent) thriller filled with overwrought performances, Kung-fu, a waterbed murder scene, and a truly ballsy ending. If you've seen it, you know you want to watch it again, and if you haven't, it's time to be initiated...

If you described the most stereotypical definition of the 80s slasher to someone who's never seen a movie before and asked them to make one with a budget of $250, this is what they'd come back with
Have you ever been watching a movie, and there's a horror movie on the TV within the movie that looks so ridiculous it can't possibly be real? This is that movie. Gratuitous nudity, gore, truly awful acting, dubbing and script, and completely random kung fu that comes out of nowhere. If I was just giving this a rating for quality it would be an easy 1/5, but it's far enough into the 'so bad it's good' realm to be worth watching.
Great for any fan of crazy euro schlock. Watched it with the Joe Bob Briggs inserts which adds a lot.
One of the most entertaining films I’ve ever seen. Many questions went through my head during the end credits… was Kung fu that popular in the early 80’s that it had to appear in everything, was there any quality control when it came to movie dubbing and most importantly… why was Christopher George so obsessed with Kendall? A wonderful experience.
Yes! Finally re found this film, got it at a pound shop and got lost in the collection. Apart from the general madness so odd that college campuses go so mad for…… tennis stars! Anyway my main memory and many arguments with my friends is that ***spoiler alert *** there is actually a horror movie where the killer hides from the police behind the curtains! Glad my sanity has kind of been restored.
