His motivation for killing linking back to a deep-rooted, childhood-related psychosis and of course the main plot is very slasher-centric: college girls being slaughtered in and around the campus.Luckily these borrowings don't serve as a detraction and it all comes together in a unique way to form a very stylish, not to mention very gory, exploitation flick.IF there had to be a detraction, I would be pushed to say the only major downfall of this movie is the silly dialogue. As are the usual slasher staples: shots from the killer's POV, complete with heavy, throaty breathing. I am being Childs, and I let myself in.Starring: Christopher George, Lynda Day George, Paul Smith, Frank Braña and Edmund PurdomPieces is a difficult film to pigeonhole into either one of the giallo or slasher sub-genres, as it lifts themes from both the Italian and American sides of 'stalk and slash' cinema.The usual gialli tropes are evident mysterious villain, complete with a black fedora, black gloves and you guessed it a black raincoat.

A spate of grisly murders are being committed on a college campus. I know that I'm beginning to spiral into down into the dark pit of a 'spouting fanboy', but when it comes to these Spanish, Italian and French films, I just can't help myself.The plot is such a simple set-up, that it can be explained in one sentence. You can see it in the film grain, in the colours and in the camera work. You know what I'm talking about, that lovable look. I suppose, in an odd way it make all the more acceptable.The gratuitous ending lets it down, it's got one of those silly 'out-of-nowhere' endings, it reminded me bit of Lamberto Bava's Macabre (1980).The moment the film opens, you can tell it's Euro-horror, it just has that aesthetic. There's also a handful of admissible goofs along the way, but like I previously mentioned they don't really subtract any quality away from the movie.
Words honestly don't do the scene justice and it's these moments that make Pieces really standout.This would make a great double bill with Ramano Scavolini's Nightmare/ Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (1981). The set up, his use of camera angles close-ups of a glinting, bloodied knife and slow-motion is perfect. Simón must have ripped a page straight from Argento's book for a scene involving a stabbing on a water bed.
