10 Hidden Gem '80s Slasher Horror Movies
10. Pieces
From J. Piquer Simon, Pieces - aka Mil gritos tiene la noche - centres around a killer who takes the body parts of his victims to create a human jigsaw of sorts. Hence, that'd be the 'pieces' of the title.
What you see in that image is Timmy, a ten-year-old who murders his mother with an axe after she finds him with a jigsaw puzzle of a naked lady. Of course, that's always a sane and rational way to deal with being told off by a parent...
Being even more of a little sh*t, Timmy hides in a closet and pretends to have witnessed his ma's murder when the police find her chopped-up remains. 40 years later, a Boston college campus finds itself in the midst of a sinister sort who not only kills people, but removes certain body parts as part of these attacks.
There's actually a nice slice of whodunnit to Pieces, as several people are teased as being responsible for these murders, and the eventual reveal comes complete with a bonkers mish-mash of a corpse that's made out of the various body parts assembled across the film's 90-minute runtime.
