Episode 43-Pieces (1982)

1974: the world was shocked by the brutality of Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 1980: the world is enamored with the slasher with Friday the 13th. So what do you get when you combine those two? 1982's Spanish-American slasher/giallio Pieces, a movie that put gore at the forefront long before Saw. Someone is carving up co-ed girls on campus with a large chainsaw and stealing body parts and it's up to Lt. Bracken to stop this maniac. But it won't be easy: the killer knows when to strike and where without police intervention. Along with his partner Sgt. Holden, pro-tennis player turned cop Mary Riggs and campus stud Kendall, Bracken must figure out who is building a human jigsaw before they complete their objective. Does this film deserve its cult following? Why the hell does Bracken deputize Kendall who should be a suspect? Is Lucas enamored with Willard for his WWE approach with cops?
