Pieces

Seen for the first time in September 2012.

A dubbed Spanish slasher film from 1982, I inadvertantly watched this with the track of audience noise from a 2002 screening. What sounded like a laugh track of maniacal laughter during seemingly random parts of the movie produced a disconcerting but interesting effect. Once I realized what was going on, I found the movie a little less interesting.

A kid’s mother finds him doing a dirty jigsaw puzzle and flips her shit over his smut collection. He kills her and then grows up to kill nubile coeds and stitch their bodies together. This is competent if unexceptional work and would be improved by more and better T&A. Enjoyable though, and it strikes the right tone throughout. Grade B.
