APRIL 6 - PIECES


Probably my #1 "you have to see this" film, 1982's Pieces boasted the immortal tagline 'YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO TEXAS FOR A CHAINSAW MASSACRE!'. And while JP Simon's opus doesn't troll those realistically psychotic depths, it more than makes up for it in unabashed, over-the-top gore and disarmingly enjoyable genre tropes.

Full of 80's fashion, howling nuggets of dialogue and, yes, some massacring via chainsaw, Pieces is the definition of a grindhouse good time.
