This film is mad, bad, and dangerous to know.

Watch it at least once a year and it always surprises me how demented it is.

What happened to slashers? They used to be so random and insane in the early 80s

Oh, this is a good one.  It's just nasty on a level you don't see much of anymore.

True. Take the new SCREAM film... some of the killings in that are very brutal, but there's something very mainstream and sanitized about it all

films like PIECES, NEW YORK RIPPER, TENEBRAE (all from 82) have a a really dark and disturbing edge

The kung fu guy was just completely out there.

 Speaking of great early slashers- the TOOLBOX MURDERS (1978) was truly f**ked up.

The very definition of a good-bad movie. It's hard not to be entertained by this unless you prefer your movies without cheese.

Oh yeah the 80s slasher cheese factor is usually high  Smile

I don't care how un-PC that scene is it always makes me howl...

I thought the first half of that was great... tbh I wasn't as keen on the direction it took later on but still enjoyed it

If we're namechecking slashers from that era I'm also really into GRADUATION DAY, THE MUTILATOR, BLOODY MOON and HOSPITAL MASSACRE.

FRIDAY 13TH PART 3 is also one of my faves. So corny in places but probably the most fun of all the F13 sequels imo

I was surprised to find out that this wasn't banned here as the old censor board banned many films like this.

They banned The Toolbox Murders though  Buggedout

the first time I saw PIECES was on a 'Vipco' release, which was almost certainly censored... it probably wasn't issued uncut here till more recently

I now have the Arrow uncut release which is very good (I think it's Arrow)

I'm sure half the time they probably just looked at the titles alone and went "yeah that sounds like it'll corrupt everyone, chuck that on the banned list... next!"

That is exactly what they did with the notoriously pornographic book Black Beauty. I wish I was joking but I'm not.  Buggedout

Probably the only movies I hear or know of those you mentioned, are 'Tenebrae', 'New York Ripper' and 'The Toolbox Murders'.
In any case I don't watched them, so, looks like I found what movies to watch in the next days.

Thanks hot

I have wanted all my life for some man to say that about me, ever since I read Caroline Lamb's quip about Byron. Sigh, so much stalking and middle of the night serial texting in vain.

But anyway I have actually seen part of this movie and the idea of using body parts that way was more dumb than disturbing. You could NOT have gotten the result that was wanted.

Try kneecapping your mother-in-law. I estimate that will increase your chances of having someone say it but at least 423%.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
