I do, however, have to give “Murder Set Pieces” the credit it deserves for suddenly switching the language track to German at the times that it’s most freaky. If it weren’t for the fact that he killed a different girl every several minutes, we’d almost be watching the same scene over and over and over again as our Germanic murder machine kills girl after girl after girl. It especially doesn’t help when director / writer / producer Palumbo has clearly paid his lifetime membership in the “gore-for-gore’s-sake” school of filmmaking and has thus thrown buckets of red corn syrup around every set on which he shoots.Even worse is the repetition. Trying to turn Christian Bale’s nonchalant slasher–which worked because Bale was damn good and could pull off that kind of thing–just can’t translate into some massive cold killing machine with a German accent so thick you could throw blocks of it into a lake and walk to the other side. Someone who obviously watched “American Psycho” one too many times and said “me too!” went out and made a movie.

Even worse is the box quote that comes from Hustler, of all places, that describes “Murder Set Pieces” as “the most graphic horror film ever committed to celluloid.” And if Fango’s calling it “sick” and “repellent”, well, that’s even worse.Īnd with this kind of body of evidence built up against it, I’m not in the least surprised to discover my every fear was completely founded. That’s another nice clear sign that this movie’s not going to be working with much. Usually when a movie advertises its own controversy, this is a magnesium flare-clear sign that means: “This is gonna be godawful.” On, not to mention trotting out not one but two naked chicks in the first six minutes. The fact that they put “Warning: Shocking, Horrific, Controversial.” on the cover of the box was enough to get me unsettled. I confess that when I first saw “Murder Set Pieces” I was concerned. There is a plot in “Murder Set Pieces”, though it’s of the most shaky sort–a fashion photographer roams Las Vegas chopping holy hell out of his models, building a body count to make Jason Voorhees cringe, and frequently screaming in German for little or no apparent reason. Oh, and if you can’t find the picture or the word, it’s not my fault. Well, congratulations, folks…a copy of “Murder Set Pieces” now appears next to the word in any dictionary.

Uwe Boll movies, the latest game or comic book adaptation, Nick Cage…the word comes up every so often. You know…people bandy the word “unwatchable” around a lot.
