At a New England university, nobody notices a female student being hacked up with a chainsaw on the front lawn in broad daylight, so the campus calls in two Keystone Cops who downgrade the killing to an “unfortunate accident” before questioning a variety of suspects with ‘red herring’ written all over them.

A movie that thinks ‘subtlety’ and ‘nuance’ are towns in the Midwest, Pieces is the kind of film where characters get into an elevator with a black-garbed, heavy breathing maniac carrying a chainsaw – which goes unnoticed until it’s revved up.
