#Pieces 1982 chainsaq movie
One would suspect otherwise, given the exploitational nature of a movie that basically comes off as hot and cold running misogyny masquerading as softcore slasher porn (right down to the staging of some of the male/female encounters). Surprisingly, though, there’s really nothing new or interesting about any of it. Really, about the only things Pieces even remotely has going for it is that A) it did make the Video Nasty list and B) it was written by exploitation purveyor/porn producer Dick (of course) Randall.Īlong those lines, there’s plenty of gore to be had from Pieces. It’s difficult to believe that Simón would go on to direct the slimetastic cult fave Slugs (1986). Ultimately, there ain’t much to recommend this flick. It’s worth wondering how held Timmy held it together for 40 years, especially if his grip is so tenuous as to be pried open by the skateboard accident. It’s the jigsaw corpse which suddenly, with zero explanation, jumps up and castrates the male lead. The whole thing comes crashing down with what, I guess, is a decent jumpscare except for one thing. It should come as no shock whatsoever that The Big Bad is putting together his own jigsaw puzzle person in an effort to “reassemble” the dead mother. It sounds a lot better than it actually ends up being.Īnd now on to the spoiler portion of our show.
Almost immediately women start getting killed (the first with a chainsaw in broad daylight) with various bits going missing from the crime scene. This seems to set our mystery observer off, and we cut (heh) to somebody opening a box that contains an X-ed out picture of Timmy’s mother, her bloody clothes, and the also bloody jigsaw puzzle. Inexplicably it never occurs to her to jump off the fairly slow-moving board. She crashes into a mirror being carried by two workmen. 40 years later, somebody (ostensibly an adult Timmy) sees some girl in a dress on a skateboard. The police buy this, and he’s shipped off to his aunt. The cops find him hiding in a closet, and he pretends to have witnessed the whole thing (which, technically, is not a lie). After his mother flips out and makes him get rid of it, he kills her with an axe then cuts her up with a hacksaw. We open up with young Timmy who’s busy putting a jigsaw puzzle together-the image is a naked woman. Second, if by “exactly what you think it is” means “giant, uninteresting pile of crap,” then I agree. It’s exactly what you think it is.”įirst of all, I can imagine some pretty weird, graphic shit. “You don’t have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre.
“Warning: What you will see in the movie Pieces cannot be revealed” (someone starting a chainsaw), cannot be described” (screaming woman), “cannot even be imagined” (figure advancing with chainsaw). Let’s start with the trailer which cuts back and forth between movie clips and text. Now…it’s been a minute since I’ve done a good hatchet job, so to speak, on a movie, and since I am in a mood, it’s with this as my backdrop that I decided to have a look at a movie I’ve detested for quite some time, Juan Piquer Simón’s Pieces (1982). For me, this always culminates in seething rage. One of those days when you look at almost every decision you’ve ever made and regret each and every one of them. One of those healthy, introspective, reflective kinda days when one curls up with a nice cuppa, maybe a decent smoke, and takes a forlorn stroll down one of the sketchy, unmarked side trails off Memory Lane. I dunno about y’all, but boy am I in a mood today.
