Who here has seen Murder Set Pieces? Chances are you probably think it sucks. I don't know why, that's just what the general populace seems to think. I happen to really like it, and I stand by that notion in this very obvious minority. Well, not really like it, I find it somewhat entertaining at least. Certainly not as bad as most people seem to think. Sure the director might be an absolute and total manipulative douchebag, but lets not compare the artist to the artwork.

First and foremost, I get the hate this one gets. The director, Nick Palumbo is a tool! Selflessly advertising his material, bad mouthing and ripping off other movies, even gloating about hurting/scaring the actresses involved, the guy comes across as a real sleazefest! The commentary reveals just how big this guy's egoreally is. One might normally find using random 9/11 footage to be a tad distasteful, but not Palumbo, he's just getting started!

But... I'm more than willing to look past that. Lets get to the material!

Palumbo has called this movie the sickest thing you'll ever see! Is it? Hmmm, not really. It's sick, for certain. Mean spirited? Most definitely, with some very hard to watch scenes. But I've seen worse. Sorry Palumbo, babe. I'm not convinced.

We watch this German photographer.... this guy!



Mmmmm

......Oh sorry, I got distracted.

So we have this German photographer, who likes to meet women, take photos of them, rape them, kill them, eat them, workout and repeat. That's pretty much it, don't expect anything special here. Most normal people would see that there is something seriously wrong with this character. At a dinner with his girlfriend, he promptly tells his girlfriend's baby sister in his German accent that;
"Women suck blood out of men everyday. But at the end of every month.... it leaks out".
Hehehe, smooth. I will like to add at this point that the girlfriend see's nothing wrong here..... I mean really! Come on!!!!

I'll be honest, I really don't know why I like this movie. It's not perfect, it's nowhere near it, but I can't help but like it! Maybe it's the director's arrogance, maybe it's the unintentionally hilarious dialogue, maybe the German photographer...



Mmmmm

Oh sorry again, or maybe it's the fact that I purposely lowered my expectations. It's certainly not the sick materpiece the director wants you to believe, but for a sick twisted film, it does deliver. Nice effective (by Toe Tag Pictures of all companies. You'll even see a cameo by them), very gritty, very mean spirited and intense... and there's a hot German guy in it so there was no complaints from me!

I rated it 7/10. Nowhere near perfect, but enjoyable for what it is.

Thankyou for reading.
