Honestly, I was stunned that the movie was even released let alone sitting on a Blockbuster Video shelf when I found it so I didn't even think about all of the editing done when I bought it. But when it was officially released on DVD by Lions Gate here in the US, a whopping 23 minutes of film had to be cut out to avoid getting an NC-17 rating, making it the first (and so far only) movie to have that much footage cut. As it was released abroad in the following years, the film was banned in the UK, Ireland and Norway. In fact, a story (whether true or not) has director William Lustig saying that the movie "went too far", which is saying a lot considering the man directed Maniac, one of the most disturbing and unsettling films in my opinion. Reader discretion is advised.)įilmed in 2004 by director Nick Palumbo (no relation to neither Chuck nor Daryl), Murder Set Pieces took the horror world by storm as it made the rounds in the festival circuit due to its super graphic and gory imagery and violence. So not only will this review offend your morals, it might offend your eyes as well. (Warning: What follows is not only a full recap of a disturbing movie.but my questionable "Photoshop" skills do come into play. With that said, if there's any movie that can be considered "torture porn", it's Murder Set Pieces. But as bad as all of that is, a bigger reason why I hate "torture porn" is that there is actually torture porn out there! And it's not cool! And this is coming from someone who gets aroused at the drop of a hat.literally. I bet if someone did that, Chuck Norris would telepathically mind rape you while the ghost of Bruce Lee violates your soul with a One Inch Thrust.
Now imagine if someone called it "Hot Bear On Twink Action". Better yet, imagine the epic fight between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon.
I mean, there's enough of them to do the whole "Volume (Insert Number Here)" joke. What if the Rocky movies were called "Hardcore Fisting". What if we used this kind of terminology for other film genres? Do we call Michael Bay movies "A'splosion-gasms"? Wait.yeah, I do. First of all, anyone who says this just comes off like a pretentious douchebag who thinks gory horror movies are beneath them. Let me preface this review by saying how much I HATE the term "torture porn".
