Anton Bitel

Little White Lies

If all this sounds like standard giallo/slasher fare... in fact Simn constructs his film in much the way that the killer recreates his puzzle: taking a bit from here, a bit from there, & stitching all these disparate pieces into a monstrous hybrid.

Lessons of Darkness

As an example of sexist, racist sleaze, Pieces is an inadvertently amusing relic of early '80s grindhouse.

Makes no real sense at all mainly because everyone involved defies the thin line of reality it could have easily maintained.

An utter masterwork of illogic.

Fans of the genre will find much to enjoy in this knowingly silly exercise in day-glo splatter.

There's little to "get"--just lots of unrestrained madness to relish.

A nice, self aware mix between a Giallo and a Slasher. It's exactly what you think! Lots of boobs, great gore, and unintentional (but actually intentional) comedy!

Puzzling and a bit to slow.

Pieces isn't bad, nor is it great, just your average slasher with an ambiguous ending

Above average 80's slasher, don't skip this one.

i was actually really surprised by the amount of nudity in this film; but maybe it was to be expected for early 80's, idk. overall it's a fun, old, campy slasher flick if you're in the mood for one. but in actuality, it's really not that good. we keep seeing the killer put together the naked girl puzzle throughout the movie to really hit home that it's the boy from the beginning - as if we didn't already know. also: i feel like they could've reshot some of those scenes so we didn't have to watch him struggle to fit already-put-together-pieces together. that drove me nuts.

Worst. Acting. Ever. I mean truly - ever. But if you like the 80's slashers (some good kills, nudity, campy) then it's better/more watchable than many others. But honestly - Worst. Acting. Ever.
