LOL, this one looks like the kid's gonna throw up. She doesn't seem to think so and you'll see why. But then we switch to a shot of two girls running as one of them asks the other one if her sister's boyfriend that's picking them up from school is cool.
#Murder set pieces review movie
The movie starts off with an old school camera flash (which was totally not taken from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, among with a few other things you'll find out later on) revealing a mangled female body and a naked man covered in blood reciting something in German before the title card. Well, something a little more than THIS would help:

I know complaining about this sort of thing is kinda hypocritical coming from me, a guy who replied to a friend's complaint that The Protector didn't have a good plot with "It's a movie with Tony Jaa finding his baby elephant by breaking limbs. It's not a movie, it's just a collection of scenes of people dying, with a half-assed plot tying it together.kinda. Why? Well, the name should've given it away. I don't think even the immense shock factor of the violence and gore can salvage it from being a boring, poorly acted, overindulgent mess.and not even the good kind either. (But you can get one here at Diabolik Video because, hey, maybe they'll appreciate the link and then they can sponsor me and I can do this whole "reviewing random obscure movies" thing on the cheap, right?)īut whether it's rated R or not rated at all, no matter what way you "slice" it (OMG! Get it? It's a movie about murdering people with sharp objects and.No? I lost you?), it's just not that good of a movie. Of course, there are copies of the uncut version floating around there on the Net so if you're interested but they're out of print and therefore pretty rare and expensive. Honestly, I was stunned that the movie was even released let alone sitting on a Blockbuster Video shelf when I found it so I didn't even think about all of the editing done when I bought it. But when it was officially released on DVD by Lions Gate here in the US, a whopping 23 minutes of film had to be cut out to avoid getting an NC-17 rating, making it the first (and so far only) movie to have that much footage cut. As it was released abroad in the following years, the film was banned in the UK, Ireland and Norway. In fact, a story (whether true or not) has director William Lustig saying that the movie "went too far", which is saying a lot considering the man directed Maniac, one of the most disturbing and unsettling films in my opinion. Reader discretion is advised.)įilmed in 2004 by director Nick Palumbo (no relation to neither Chuck nor Daryl), Murder Set Pieces took the horror world by storm as it made the rounds in the festival circuit due to its super graphic and gory imagery and violence. So not only will this review offend your morals, it might offend your eyes as well.

#Murder set pieces review full
(Warning: What follows is not only a full recap of a disturbing movie.but my questionable "Photoshop" skills do come into play. With that said, if there's any movie that can be considered "torture porn", it's Murder Set Pieces. But as bad as all of that is, a bigger reason why I hate "torture porn" is that there is actually torture porn out there! And it's not cool! And this is coming from someone who gets aroused at the drop of a hat.literally. I bet if someone did that, Chuck Norris would telepathically mind rape you while the ghost of Bruce Lee violates your soul with a One Inch Thrust. Now imagine if someone called it "Hot Bear On Twink Action". Better yet, imagine the epic fight between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon. I mean, there's enough of them to do the whole "Volume (Insert Number Here)" joke. What if the Rocky movies were called "Hardcore Fisting". What if we used this kind of terminology for other film genres? Do we call Michael Bay movies "A'splosion-gasms"? Wait.yeah, I do. First of all, anyone who says this just comes off like a pretentious douchebag who thinks gory horror movies are beneath them. Let me preface this review by saying how much I HATE the term "torture porn".
