This isn't as gory as I thought it would be


I thought this was supposed to be a graphic gory bloodfest??

For 1982, I think I'd argue it was.

I hope the original poster's comment is meant to be highly ironical.

yeah I was expecting much more gore and less campy music

It wasn't even that gory for it's time. 'Dawn Of The Dead' was much gorier and it came out four years earlier.

reply

Dawn of the Dead really wasn't that gory. Pieces beats it for sure.

reply

Huh, I thought the opposite.

I personally found the scene where the girl with the great teats is being stalked in the loo and pees herself with the camera in close up to be way more disturbing than any of the gore. It was oddly a very unclean scene for me and I love sleazy, unclean movies.

reply

Are you serious? Dawn has more gore in the first twenty minutes than Pieces does in its entirety.

Dawn of the Dead gore looks way too fake - perhaps I should have been clearer.

Anyway, I found Pieces' gore to be much more realistic and disturbing. Dawn of the Dead's gore was cheesy and at times really terribly done. I love Savini as much as the next horror fan, but that film wasn't his best work to be sure.

The fx were done like that intentionally in Dawn as an artistic choice. Romero was going for a bold comic book-like feel; hence the blue/grey zombies and bright red blood. In my opinion, it ties in brilliantly with the rest of the film.

I love Pieces but I don't find it the least bit disturbing. Just hilarious.

One man's trash...
And I don't care if they did the make-up in 'Dawn' like that on purpose or not, I think it looks awful.

reply

Even by today's standards, this movie is pretty damn gory.

reply

The violence in a zombie movie isn't as disturbing because it's fantasy. Seeing women getting butchered with a chainsaw by a real 'person' is obviously going to be way more unsettling. I thought this movie was quite outrageous.

'Dawn Of The Dead' is a great film but Tenebre, Suspiria, Zombi 2 are much gorier

reply

'Tenebre' and 'Suspiria' are much less gory, however, the gore in 'Tenebre' is more realistic (maybe that's what you mean?). I do agree that 'Zombie' is gorier.
