Pieces is an immensely simple film at first glance, and indeed it is. It only benefits from having a crazy killer, a known past, and subsequently the murder of girls who aren't afraid to reveal some of their nudity. Simple, yes, but at the same time effective, which I simply have to appreciate. The film doesn't pretend to be anything special, but it manages to captivate the viewer and lead them to a successful conclusion, topped off with a nice cherry-on-top in the final shot.

Oh well. If I had read the reviews here I wouldn’t have watched Pieces because I know very well I’m unable to appreciate this type of horror. It’s not Boo!, but it is garbage, which, at least for me, it’s almost the same.

Pieces is a remarkable combination of American slasher and European giallo. The actors’ performances are typically absurd and the film has a whiff of B-movie about it, but at the same time it surprises with a creative script. There are more characters than we are used to in this particular sub-genre, but all of them have their place in the crime story and make it more interesting. Another big advantage of the film is also its quick start – no slow introduction, with furious slashing starting with the first scene.
