5. Murder Set Pieces (2004)
The story, as in all of these movies is slight. A German fashion photographer kills, dismembers, tortures various young women. From the introduction we can see that director Nick Palumbo is obviously very proud of this piece of garbage. I think that he deliberately set out to make the most controversial and gory film ever made, but his film sucks and has a very low appreciation rating. There is no attempt at plot or characterisation - and without these two essential things, your movie is in deep, deep trouble at least with the censors (the viewers don't enjoy it much either). Peddled with all of these words - shocking, violent, gory, disturbing - the film is instead fairly laughable and deeply mendacious considering most of the murders happen off screen. Palumbo doesn't have the balls to live up to his promise. As one critic said, the film is so one dimensional it veers on self parody. The BBFC banned the film on the premise of its high degree of sexualised violence which contravened their guidelines. I have a sneaking suspicion that they just thought that such lame nonsense had no business being in existence.
