This public exhibition of their particular blend of joie de vie comes to a halt when one of the students sets her sights on her sheepish biology teacher (Jack Taylor). The response to this question is so inspired in its clunkiness that John Waters would be proud.
As they light up a doob in the crowded hallway (with teachers passing by, no less), they discuss the subject quoted at the beginning of this blog entry. The first thing we see are university students getting high. We then skip ahead forty years, American flags and pictures of Ronald Reagan are ever-present to assure viewers that they are not in Italy or Spain in any way.
The commotion caused by this brutality does not go unnoticed, but the single policeman and the nosy neighbor investigating the house only find the woman’s head, a boy in tears and a blood-stained puzzle. As she continues her tirade against sleazery, her son produces an axe behind his back, sending it directly towards her neck. A young boy is assembling a jigsaw puzzle of a nude woman in his bedroom when his mother enters unannounced and, on first glimpse of the aforementioned puzzle, proceeds to chastise the boy about how he’s just like his lecherous father and is a terrible burden on her shoulders.
PIECES 1982 MOVIE MOVIE
Our story begins with the subtitle “BOSTON 1942”, as a shorthand way of dispelling any suspicions that the movie was filmed in Spain. Naturally, I should let you know what to expect. The tagline for Pieces promises viewers that the film is “exactly what you think it is”. This is a movie to sit back with friends and enjoyed with a glass of off-brand Scotch. We’re back in Truth Or Dare territory again, as we have yet another case where filmmakers fails to live up to the meager standards set by the slasher genre. Pieces represents the best of times and the blurst of times, as it is one of the most riotous pieces of crap I’ve ever laid eyes on. Note, I mean “most entertaining”, not “best”. Twenty-seven years after its release, Juan Piquer Simon’s Pieces is one of the most entertaining films of all time and you’d be a fool to think otherwise. What kind of horror movie is it? Staggeringly moronic slasher. Written by Simon, Joe D’Amato and Dick Randall.
