Movie Reviews of Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film
Movie Review: In Pieces
Summary: 3 Stars
I had this show on dvr for a long time, it was a great film. I recently purchased the film on dvd and boy what a mess this film is! Everything is scattered and hard to follow. They should have started off with Pyscho and then went thru the 70's, starting with the slasher film Black Christmas. Halloween is an excellent film and most consider it the first slasher film, which is fine but Black Christmas cannot be ignored. They show lots of good clips but like I said, the story is all over the place and makes no sense. The end of the documentary was like every other documentary ive seen-starts strong and ends quickly. The 90's brought the death of many horror icons-Pinhead (who was omitted from the film for no reason), Freddy, Jason, Myers, and Leatherface. Then its revived for Scream and the genere is forever ruined. Now we have rappers and tv stars who are hot at the moment starring in horror films, pg-13 horror films that come out on dvd unrated, straight to dvd horror films that are sometimes good and most often bad. Friday The 13th is the most ripped off movie but there are some good movies based on it. I love horror but this is not the movie you want to see if you want a soild look at films. It has great clips and maybe some you want to check out for yourself.
