![]() ![]() No attempt need be made at creating a story, characters or a point just string together a series of atrocities, and you’re guaranteed a certain amount of attention, praise from those for whom gore is the be-all and end-all of the horror experience-and negative publicity (and you know there’s really no such thing). It’s also the kind of movie that some people like to call “daring,” except that in a sense, this is the safest type of horror filmmaking there is. ![]() This is the kind of film that works so hard to be sellable as “Shocking! Controversial!” that it forgets-or doesn’t bother-to include anything else of interest. Murder-Set-Pieces is a sick, repellent and ultimately offensive movie-and no, I don’t mean that as a backhanded compliment, though writer/director/producer Nick Palumbo and his distributor would no doubt take it as one. Editor's Note: This was originally published for FANGORIA on January 3, 2005, and we're proud to share it as part of The Gingold Files.
