The director, Leland Thomas, taught film-making at the film school I went to for a few years, and the entire first quarter of school he teaches new students a basics of production class, and the entire time he tells all his students that at the end of the quarter he'll show everyone how not to make a movie, and eventually, sometimes grudgingly, shows Bits and Pieces. He even admits it's a grandly terrible film, but for his students and the people that know Lee, this movie is fantastic. Sure, it was made for the sole purposes of making money, and eventually cut down by the producers so the cut that is circulating (not sure where, he said it might get a DVD release someday soon) is devoid of pretty much all the gore they shot for the film. Not that gore would save this mess of a film, but if you know Lee and the type of heartfelt guy he is, you can't solely blame him for making this movie terribly. Still, when I finally saw it, it was a funny movie, and I enjoyed watching it, if only for the reasons stated above, and it's a lot better when you're told for 3 months how terrible it is going to be, and all the reasons why. Definitely a great learning experience I must say.
... View MoreUnsophicticated and unpraiseworthy psycho-slasher romp serves up the usual gore murders, nudity, and unintentional chuckles in a featureless and automatonic fashion. The dead-in-the-water story concerns yet another mother-fixated nut case who sweats a lot and kills random females. So, what else is new? Nothing here, that's for damn sure. Highlights(?) include the forced feminization of a little boy(in one VERY laughable flashback sequence), some acceptably graphic girl slaughtering, and the scrawniest male stripper ever allowed to dance on a stage. All things considered, this is an entirely unnecessary jaunt, but if slashers are your bag then I suspect you've probably seen worse. 3.5/10...compare to "Killer Workout" for quality. 'Nuff said?
... View MoreThis was pretty pathetic. A loser nutcase abused by his mom goes nuts and kidnaps women and kills them. There is virtually no gore in this so-called slasher film. There is no on screen violence at all. There are some close ups of womens breasts while they're tied up before he kills them, that's about the only worthwhile thing I can say about this waste of time.
