Would like you see how he explained that… she tripped and fell on a running chainsaw then her head rolled into a storm drain?
The cops (cheese favourite, Christopher George and Frank Brana) come along and the college Dean (Purdom) requests that they keep quiet, saying he’s told the staff it was an “unfortunate accident”. Then she goes to lie down and study, but along comes a chainsaw-toting loon and cuts off her head. Hmm… looks a bit advanced for 1942, don’t it?įorty years later at the college campus, a girl skateboards into a giant mirror. In turn, he whacks her in the head with an axe and saws off her head, pretending to the police that he has merely survived the attack when they force their way in, after nobody answers the push-button phone. She loses her shit, smashes a mirror and photo of her husband, and tells sonny she’s going to burn the filth. To truly convey the spirit of Pieces, we’re going to need a few pictures.īeginning in 1942, the killer-to-be is caught by his strict mom playing with the nudie jigsaw. But nevertheless, it’s a funny-as-fuck 82 minutes. It’s truly horrendous no matter how you cut it (with chainsaw or not). Who is it and why blah blah blah…Įven though I’ve dolled out a generous three stars, Pieces cannot be regarded as a good film by any standards. At a Boston college campus, which looks an awful lot like Madrid, a maniac is chainsawing off various appendages of the female students in accordance with the nudie jigsaw he’s obsessed with.
