#PIECES 1982 MOVIE#
The movie is largely a gorefest and that in addition to the weirdness of the acting and story has made it popular. She is so over the top and her “BASTARDS” screaming moment is one of the top bad-acting scenes of all time. The movie even adds the cliché “overweight nerd”, but the star of the movie has to be Linda Day George (married to Christopher George who plays the detective). Smith pretty much just plays his Brutus character from Popeye while Ian Sera knows more about all his professors and the dean than any student normally knows. The cast also seems like it isn’t quite sure what it is doing. It follows no logic (an example is they catch the gardener holding the bloody chainsaw, he attacks them, and then they just let him go because not enough evidence)…not to mention the recruitment of a student and the least likely undercover officer in Mary Riggs…who has a great fight with the college’s “kung-fu professor” Chao (played by Bruce Le…with one e).īASTARDS! (and an uncomfortable Ian Sera having to stand there as she screams it)
#PIECES 1982 TV#
The dialogue, the operation of the university, and the police work makes you feel like the makers had never watched a movie, gone to college, or even saw a police procedural TV show before writing the script. The film feels like it is also pieced to together. This feels like the European element of the film. The unknown killer stalking women (generally scantily clad or naked) blends the two genres. The movie has a lot of slasher elements but it also feels like a giallo film. Pieces always seemed like it was a simple grab to capitalize on films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but in its own way, it becomes something entirely different and truly bizarre. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre made chainsaws a weapon of terror and a standard operating tool for slashers. Made by parties in Spain, Puerto Rico, and the United States, the film received criticism for its gore and violence and gained a cult following over the years. Piquer Simon, Pieces ( Mil gritos tiene la noche aka The Night Has 1000 Screams) is a low budget horror slasher film. I think the problem here is that someone has taken her head…ĭirected by J.
