Description

PRESENTED ON 35MM! 

 

IT’S EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!



The co-eds of a Boston college campus are targeted by a mysterious killer who is creating a human jigsaw puzzle from their body parts.



Join us for a stroll down a (Nightmare) Alley directly off 42nd Street as we embrace one of the sleaziest and goriest oddities of the Grindhouse era. Spanish director Juan Piquer Simón's (SLUGS, CTHULHU MANSION) film is utterly aware of its exploitation pedigree, equally riffing liberally from greater slasher and Giallo films. It's gross, offensive, and definitely a product of its time, but there's an undeniable charm to its stubborn unwillingness to care about plot, character development, and good taste. PIECES is a top-tier cult classic that continues to bring 'Shock and Awe' to unassuming audiences to this day. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED! (Steven Landry)
