  1. Be warned that the results are in aggressively awful taste from beginning to end.

    Pic's nastiness is so insistent, one-dimensional and excessive it risks self-parody.

    Depraved, disgusting, misogynistic, ugly, and interminable, Murder-Set-Pieces is the lowest form of cinematic life, a movie so utterly degenerate it makes you wish that indie filmmakers had to prove a basic standard of decency in order to buy a camera.

    Aspires to be a highly stylized exploration of the mind of a serial killer, but it's nothing more than a gory, bloodsoaked snuff film, reveling in its own shock value.

    It really doesn't deserve a 10 out of 10 but it only has a rating of 3.9? Jesus... It's a well shot film with lots of hot women being murdered and raped and also has great music in it. What more could you ask for? Expand

    Easily the most disturbing film I've ever seen...I LOVED IT. This movie should have gotten the accolades and positive notices that went to that piece of crap "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer". Now talk about a movie pieced together with no story, plot or narrative. The murder/torture scenes notwithstanding, It was a very realistic portrayal of an all too real world. Wake up folks! The lead actor, Sven Garrett is amazingly intense and scarier than Kruger, Freddy, Myers, Chainsaw..and all those other characters (not to mention he's HOT). Expand

    Good film, but slightly dissapointed that the directors cut wasn't that much different to the original version, just some extra New York scenes at the beginning.I was expecting more gore! Still a vicious film though, and well made. Expand

    If you want an idea of how bad this movie is: (1)The uncut version of this film graphically depicts the murder of a child. But you really couldn't give a hoot when watching it. Because its that bad. (2)Look at all the fake "reviews" on here from the "general public" calling it the best horror ever. Yeah right. (3)The opening credits of Irreversible (Just the bit where the names are listed before the film actually starts) is ten times more disturbing than this entire move. Expand
