Out On A Limb...
'Mil Gritos Tiene La Noche' (AKA 'Pieces') (Juan Piquer Simón, 1982)
80's Spanish Sleaze-fest 'Pieces' has all the right ingredients for a chainsaw exploitation pic; lots of nudity, lots of rather unnecessary, OTT splatter-gore, poor dubbing and crud 80's music by CAM (in the American version, that is). And it's all over in 85 minutes, lovely stuff!
Directed by Juan Piquer Simón in 1982, 'Pieces' is a classic chainsaw sleaze-fest, that has it's tongue firmly in it's cheek. You know exactly where the film is going, and it goes there with a bloody smile on its face. The story is standard: A murderer is on the rampage in a school, but all the victims are saucy young girls, most of whom are picked off in a state of undress. The film also includes some of the dumbest, most inept cops in cinematic history, and legendary B-movie actor Paul L Smith, as 'Willard' the gardener/janitor/red- herring type of character.
All in all a highly enjoyable blood-bath. So, as the random kung-fu guy from the 'random kung-fu scene' says "Bad chop suey, so long!"
