Review – Going to Pieces

The sub-title here is “The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Movie,” which is a reasonably apt description. If you genuinely don’t know anything about slasher movies, you might learn a bit from this. On the other hand, you’ll get a slightly skewed version. The emphasis is on movies created by the people who agreed to be interviewed, which means that some genre classics are mentioned only briefly (or even completely ignored) while some relatively minor moments get way more screen time. And if you do happen to have seen a fair number of these pictures, this documentary isn’t going to add much to your understanding. Mildly amusing
