Aspires to be a highly stylized exploration of the mind of a serial killer, but it's nothing more than a gory, bloodsoaked snuff film, reveling in its own shock value as women are stabbed, strangled, raped and mutilated. Go to Full Review

The director Nick Palumbo is determined to shock through a fictional German-born serial killer, who makes his mission clear with every thrust of knife blade and pelvis. Go to Full Review
Ben Kenigsberg Village Voice 01/04/2005
The lowest form of cinematic life, a movie so utterly degenerate it makes you wish that indie filmmakers had to prove a basic standard of decency in order to buy a camera. Go to Full Review

12/27/2023 My life would be better if I never watched it... but it's still pretty good 😆 🤣 See more IrateTyrant C @IrateTyrant 01/26/2023 Horrible and unenjoyable This was a dumb piece of trash, straight up. This is somehow considered a follow up to Nick Palumbo's Nutbag, which can only be described as "worse than this garbage here," Muder Set Pieces runs through screentime with softcore actresses until the director is bored enough with his own movie to make the MC kill them off. Headless, a similarly poor taste movie of the same ilk, somehow managed to outdo this movie with gore. The unconnected murders in this movie have no plot outline worth mentioning, other than possibly reflecting the writer's obsession with onscreen murder of females. The soundtrack makes it manageable to sit through, but the lack of rewarding writing made me dislike my gullibility. This was one of the worst movies ever, next to Criminally Insane, with just as dumb of a main character. See more 05/31/2020 Murder Set Pieces is different of viewpoint within paradox reality formed by logical hatred data point within a web of truth. See more 08/16/2016 Chockfull of endless scenes of torture, bloodletting and bench pressing, Murder-Set-Pieces gained a dubious reputation when it was banned in the UK. I'm sure it happened because of it's graphic content, but there's a tiny part of me that wishes it was because the censors saw it, turned to one another and said in unison: 'This is awful!' It has nothing interesting to say, is full of characters who can charitably be described as one-dimensional, has a virtually non-existent plot and mistakes gallon blood for actual substance. Gory movies don't necessary have to be terrible, but sadly most of them are, and this is one of the most unsubstantial that I've ever watched. Poorly written, shamelessly misogynistic and ugly beyond belief, steer well clear of this nihilistic rubbish. See more 10/11/2015 Terrible film but very sick and bloodthirsty. Banned in the UK. See more 01/06/2015 Si es bastante malona, jaja. Me la esperaba mejor hecha, algo tipo "The Killer Inside Me" pero no... es una película de 'Serie B' de esas que parecen que las hizo un estudiante que apenas sabe como prender la cámara. Del guión y las actuaciones, ni hablamos. Le pondré una estrellita y media solo porque la sangre se ve chida y el planteamiento tiene dos tres cosillas interesantes aunque nunca cuaja.
