So, to summarize - this movie loves itself for how controversial and offensive it is. including the one you're on right now! Fast forward another ten to twenty years - and how many words of analysis and discussion on this worthless film will have been cataloged? Fast forward to today, and Murder-Set-Pieces is on DVD, it's available all over the damn place, and there's no end to the sites you can find talking about the damn film. So, when it's made, there's no expectation of there being discussions around it, for it to be a "cult film", etc. That movie has no conceivable way to ever be seen again - there's no HBO, no VHS, no streaming. Nine times out of ten, it plays for a week or so, and it's gone. In 1974, you release a movie made for the drive-ins. But this self-awareness isn't just attention-seeking, it's also aware that the film will be discussed to infinity on the internet.

Murder-Set-Pieces is a textbook example of this "self-aware" culture that has sprung up. With porn taking up half the internet, with every deviant fetish available at the click of a mouse, can we really say this movie or anything like it is actually scandalous anymore? The exploitation films of decades past (1960s-1990s) could honestly hold some claim to crossing taboos and pushing the envelope of good taste. But let's face it, this shit isn't really scandalous anymore. sorry, just putting fake blood on a bunch of naked chicks and having them scream and play dead doesn't make your film the most offensive in history.Ĭome to think of it, I'm getting rather tired of the race to the bottom in my mind it's been hit by A Serbian Film (however, you can always go lower I suppose). Aren't I scandalous? Isn't this just so very controversial?" Indeed, the writer/director is proud to say his film is the most grotesque and offensive film ever made. RANT: This movie is nothing but "Hey, look at me. And here's where I'll start my rant, because I just can't wait until the end. Sven has the brunette strung up nude by her ankles.
