 In Pieces February 1, 2009
A. Pierre (Somewheres)
I had this show on dvr for a long time, it was a great film. I recently purchased the film on dvd and boy what a mess this film is! Everything is scattered and hard to follow. They should have started off with Pyscho and then went thru the 70's, starting with the slasher film Black Christmas. Halloween is an excellent film and most consider it the first slasher film, which is fine but Black Christmas cannot be ignored. They show lots of good clips but like I said, the story is all over the place and makes no sense. The end of the documentary was like every other documentary ive seen-starts strong and ends quickly. The 90's brought the death of many horror icons-Pinhead (who was omitted from the film for no reason), Freddy, Jason, Myers, and Leatherface. Then its revived for Scream and the genere is forever ruined. Now we have rappers and tv stars who are hot at the moment starring in horror films, pg-13 horror films that come out on dvd unrated, straight to dvd horror films that are sometimes good and most often bad. Friday The 13th is the most ripped off movie but there are some good movies based on it. I love horror but this is not the movie you want to see if you want a soild look at films. It has great clips and maybe some you want to check out for yourself.
 Everything you wanted to know about the slasher films but was afraid to ask January 8, 2009

If you are a long time horror fan like myself, or if your new to this stuff
and want to learn more the slasher films look no further. Going To Pieces, is one of the most interesting and most comprehensive documentaries you can ever see! This films covers just about everything you want to know about the slasher genre, it explains it's early beginnings, the key slasher films that the genre on the map and the s**tstorm of controversy that it caused with parents and critics alike. you hear from actors, producers and directors who made the films and was apart of the slasher phenomenon of the 1980's, it even the bets bits from each slasher films they talk about.
There are so many good things I can say about this film, but in short all I can say about this film that it is worth watching, for any one who wants to relive the nostalgia of the good old days of slasher films, or for anyone who is new it is worth buying.
A wonderful documentary on the 80's Horror Films December 4, 2008
Dean A. Orewiler (Indiana)
A documentary that took some time making and well done. It documents the 80's horror film scene and covers about every film that was important. The lighting is wonderful and the interviews are super. A fun watch. I had no idea the film was done by ARI LEHMAN (The first Jason) of the Friday the 13th movie PART ONE. NICE JOB ARI !!
A MUST for any Slasher fan November 17, 2008

Going To Pieces"The rise and Fall of the Slasher"
This is a MUST HAVE for any Slasher,Horror or Gore hound.
It traces the controversial roots of the Slasher all the while showing interviews with Horror icons ,Make up artists,directors etc,.
It also shows some of the best and goriest scenes form some of the best slasher flicks from the 60's to the present.
I have watched it so many times and each time I see something new that I missed the first time,it also pays special attention to the films that have become classics and discusses the reasons why they are so endeared and have stood the test of time.
It's the best compilation of horror gore clips I have ever seen in one movie.
not everything is cut out October 30, 2008

I recently got this movie. And I had seen it about a year ago I couldn't remember any nudity being shown. So in light of it being the halloween season I was looking forward to showing this to my kids in a sort of educational review of the genre. And I couldn't find any mention to content - other than what I knew was going to be in there, gore.
Well although they did cut out most sexual content they left about 6 female frontal shots in. Most of it is pretty brief, except one.
Don't get me wrong, the sexual content is probably one of the main reasons as a teen I started watching horror movies! But for what I was wanting the movie for -helping spread the love of horror- I needed something without nudity or very brief nudity.
I guess the main problem is that there is no mention of this content ANYWHERE on the web. So I'm adding it here so no one else is left clueless.
But then again, how many parents have their Disney/Nickelodeon watching kids sit down and watch clips of some of the greatest horror movies ever made days before halloween? probably not many.
