If anyone ever tells you, “well I have seen it, but I don’t remember much about it”, like someone said to me once, the chances are they are lying to you to look cool. Even though I also wrote about nine other films (all of them brilliant in their own way) for said feature, it was really all about Pieces, and I have no shame in admitting it. I once wrote an article on underrated slashers for a mainstream genre magazine solely so I could promote the idea that you haven’t seen a slasher until you have seen Pieces (Spanish title: Mil Gritos Tiene La Noche). Add in a little witchcraft and you have the recipe for something truly magickal.There are slashers, and then there is Pieces.I am going to begin with a confession. 27 (Fall, 2017) – There is nothing perhaps more enchanting than a good old folk, or fairy tale.
The director must also be applauded for getting icons Peter Cushing and Paul Naschy on the same bill for 1981’s Mystery on Monster Island, as well as for terrorising an entire town with molluscs in 1989’s Slugs.By the time Pieces came around the slasher cycle was in full swing. The fact it has a disco theme, while Supersonic flies through “space”, as an opener on the Spanish language version, is just the icing on the cake in one of the most bizarre Hollywood rip-offs of the decade. Simon’s 1979 take on the superhero film, complete with cardboard vehicles and a scenery chewing Cameron Mitchell, Supersonic Man, is another title that occupies a special place in my heart. Prior to making the 1982 slasher, he already had a few “gems” under his belt. Unsung, because despite the film’s cult status, it is still relatively unheard of in mainstream circles a hero because Pieces is pure brilliance in every way imaginable. Any mention of the film and you will be forever compelled to leap in with a rousing chorus of “baaasstaarrrdd!!!”Because of Pieces, director Juan Piquer Simon is something of an unsung hero in Euro horror.
