The effects really stand out, especially the girl who gets sawed to pieces in the toilet, and some visual highlights like the woman who gets butchered on the water bed. Pieces is easily one of the goriest slashers from the 1980’s with all the mandatory recipes of Blood, Tits and Gore. It’s probably the best and fitting tagline I’ve ever read for a film like this, and it isn’t an exaggeration either. The tagline for Pieces says “ You don’t have to go to Texas for a Chainsaw Massacre“. Bracken (Christopher George) who also has a suspicious eye on the socially stunned anatomy teacher Arthur Brown (Jack Taylor), who looks like a reduced Vincent Price with a bad flu. The killings are being further investigated by Lt. The chunky gardener, played by Paul “Bluto” Smith, is the first to be suspected, of course. The first victim gets her head chopped off under the blue sky as she lies on the lawn outside the campus, studying. He has also developed an obsession with pornographic jigsaw puzzles and is fixating to make his own, personal masterpiece(s) with real body parts.
And speaking of shadows, the look of the killer is actually inspired by the comic book character The Shadow. He hunts down young female students at a college, dressed as a classic giallo-style killer with a black coat, gloves and a big hat that hides his face behind its shadows.

Then we jump 40 years later, still in Boston, where the kid we just saw in the opening have grown up to be a serial killer (No, really? Who would’ve guessed). When the cops come in, they just assume that the boy was lucky and managed to hide from the unknown killer. He then picks up an axe, which he happens to be allowed to have in his room for some reason, and chops his mother to death, before he saws off her head while he smiles, and then hides in a closet. In comes his strict and unhinged mother, who gives him a few slaps before she throws away that filthy thing.

The movie doesn’t waste any time and gets straight to the first body count, where a young boy is in his room minding his own business while pinning a pornographic jigsaw puzzle.
