Sonny boy hacks her to death with an axe. She ransacks his room looking for filth, but doesn’t get very far. She’s disgusted to find that the completed puzzle is of a naked woman. A young mother walks in on her son putting together the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. The majority of the film was shot in Madrid.
What it’s all about: Pieces (1982) opens with a prologue set 1942 Boston, though it’s unlike any Boston you’ve ever seen before. Something tells me that there’s going to be a lot of dead co-eds before all is said and done. There’s a murderous psychopath loose on campus and it’s up to real life husband and wife Christopher George and Lynda Day George to solve the crime. I feel like I don't truly deserve to call myself the Connoisseur of Cheese.You don’t have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre!
Actually, I'm ashamed at myself for not having seen it before.

I really don't know how to go much further in expressing my love for this little gem. A detective with a never-lit cigarillo that he constantly chomps on.The world's most uninspiring tennis scenes.Naked girl puzzle, both literal and figurative.Opening scene with busty mom being axed to death.

"Undercover" tennis coach Mary Riggs is played with aplomb by the beautiful Lynda Day George, most remembered as Lisa Casey from the hit 70's TV show Mission Impossible. Last but not least there's suspected killer Willard (or as the Dean says it: Will-Lard), played by genre demigod Paul L. Randy Holden, is played by Slugs star Frank Brana (aka the Silver Stud). Bracken is played by Christopher George of Love Boat fame. The cast is loaded with those "where have I seen them?" faces that are the hallmark of solid genre schlock. That translates to the screen in a very organic way that you can't act out. It's made with some serious heart and a sense of great fun you can see the crew having one hell of a time making it. It's easy for me to picture an American distributor in the early 80's heyday rise of the video store seeing this in Spanish, popping a greedy little chubby and thinking "Slap some dubbing and a simple title on it!". The kills are super splashy the SFX aren't "top notch" but they are pretty good for the day and age it was made in. Originally a Spanish-language film titled Mil gritos tiene la noche (A Thousand Cries Has the Night), this one plays out like a serious cop thriller that loses its fucking mind every few minutes and decides to go all splatter and gratuitous tits and ass. They turn to a local lothario by the name of Kendall and a former tennis star named Mary Riggs to go "undercover" and catch the killer, whom we see as a young boy at the beginning of the film killing his mother with an axe after she tries to destroy his porno stash. The police are baffled (although the crimes are brazenly committed in broad daylight with a noisy-ass chainsaw!). Here's your batshit crazy synopsis: Young coeds are being dismembered on a Boston college campus by a chainsaw wielding psycho. It's for you kindred spirits that I write this review, so that you might enjoy a real gem from the early years of the Reagan administration.
I also happen to believe that a large number of people out there are just like me. I never claimed to be normal, moral, or decent. I'm a huge fan of these things, actually. Do you like excessive gore? Do you like illogical dialogue? Would you appreciate a scene of random kung-fu? How about chainsaws? Would you like a great movie to get shitfaced and enjoy with the homies? Personally, I'm a fan of all these things.
