A Spanish brutal slasher with plenty of grisly killings , gore , blood and guts
17 October 2020
Co-eds of an Universitary College are being murdered by a masked killing executing an extreme criminal spree . Meanwhile , a lieutenant Police Inspector : Christopher George and a Sergeant : Frank Braña are investigating the twisted cases . The sum of the parts = the whole Body . Absolutely No One under 17 admitted to this Performance . When you meet him , you'll go to Pieces ! The Chainsaw Devil ! In his hands he has the power. His mind has the will, Death is his master !, Anyone can be his prey . Fear so intense , it will grab you by the balls ! If you think you are safe on the Campus , you're Dead Wrong !

This is a macabre story of revenge in which a series killer and his devasting Tool make women scream . The film has a lot of gory scenes, violence , brutality , rage , twists and turns . If you like strong thrills , cold chills , blood and guts , you must see this film , but do not come to watch it alone , just in necessary case . While this movie has been universally panned by prestigious critics , however, having a kind of quality that is really considered by Cult Movies lovers and must be endured to be totally appreciated. It is a gruesome and chilling feature that will have you on the edge your seat and you will never be able to forget it due to the bloody scenes including : slashing , beheading , slitting , dismembering and anything else . Although most of the guts and blood were actually internal organs from a nearly Slaughterhouse including cows and pigs. The main and support cast give so-so performances , filled with familiar faces as Christopher George of The Immortal series , his real wife Linda Day George , the tarnished Hollywood star Edmund Purdom , Paul L Smith of Midnight Express , Jack Taylor a Jess Frank's regular , the Spanish/American May Heatherly , Gerard Tichy , Isabel Luque , among others .

It displays an adequate cinematography by Juan Marime , shot utterly in Madrid surroundings due to its low-budget , though set in Boston. This one one among the many Cult classic Horror films that have newly been restored and digitally remastered . The film was professionally directed by Juan Piquer , being full of gaps , flaws , failures , however , resulting to be entertaining . Piquer was a craftsman , a Spanish filmmaker mainly known for directing some cult classy horror films . He was one of the greatest of the Spanish Horror boom in the 70s and 80s especially for his quartet of Terror films as Escalofrío, Slugs , Cthulhu Mansion and this big hit : Pieces . Piquer also especialized in other genres as Adventures : Fabulous Journey to the Center of Earth , Mystery on Monster Island , Sea Devils , The Gilded Beetle , Manoa The Golden City , and Science-Fiction : The Rift , Supersonic Man , Dirty War , Nexus 2431 , The New Extraterrestrials . Rating : 5.5/ 10 . Passable .
