    “Modern horror got you down? Starving for mindless bloodshed? Brain-dead actors? Aimless weapons slicing into unidentifiable slabs of meat? Look no further, as the high mark of low-brow terror is here: Pieces!

    Sexist? Racist? Totally tasteless? Admittedly so, but also a gruesome, straight-faced exploration of the goofiest cross-section of ’80s exploitation insanity. An uncomfortably twisted and questionable work, even for this genre, Pieces is a particularly glaring product of the anything-for-a-shock ’70s/’80s international horror sweatshop. See teenagers flayed and filleted with clumsy ferocity while you guess the identity of the mysterious killer. Is it the embittered tennis instructor? The shameful stereotype of a kung fu teacher? The gardener who also played Bluto in Popeye? Who cares? Bring on the guts!” (Zack Carlson, The Scarecrow Video Movie Guide)

    Directed by Juan Piquer Simón. US. 1982. R. 89 min. Grindhouse. 35mm.
