It’s what The Cell should have been an insight into a killer’s mind, not a watered-down dark fairytale. “Murder-Set-Pieces” isn’t a copycat psychological thriller. They are a product of our society, a product of us, and there is always a history behind their acts. He shows us images that explain to us what kind of world produces monsters like his Photographer, as well as like Dahmer, Gein, Bundy, Hitler, Bathory, Vlad the Impaler, and all the rest of the psychopaths from our history and present. He made a film about violence and brutality.

Because, you see, Palumbo didn’t just make a film about a serial killer. Terrorism, Nazism, and other references at first that may seem out of place end up making perfect sense in the grand perspective of what Palumbo is talking about. Women are dolls and w****s in the eyes of the killer. This film is brutally violent towards women, and I had to turn away from several of the extremely graphic rape scenes. The killer has some weird ideas about sexuality and femininity. It’s about telling a story, and not straying from the story to appease people who may be unsettled by it. This isn’t a film about heroes and villains. The cops don’t save the day, the victims don’t come back to torment their killer. There is no explanation no cheesy ending that puts us at ease. Surely there must be some way to end the aggressive and unrelenting bloodbath…But Palumbo doesn’t let you rest. Often we wonder when the violence will stop. The entire film is extremely well put together and never drags, never seems a scene out of place, and never do we question what the filmmaker has done. Vegas is flashy and provides just enough glamour and falseness to appropriately set this story.
There is no grittiness or filth Palumbo likes sharpness and realism. There is something “Highlander/Mad Max” about the entire film in the way the killer drives ceaselessly on long highways through the Las Vegas skyline, the lights and sounds and people oblivious to his true nature sadistic urges.
Palumbo’s film really forces the audience to identify with the murderer on so many levels, in what is often a very uncomfortable way. Cannibalism, vampirism, rape, murder, sadism, torture…”Murder-Set-Pieces” explores the loneliness that this life carries with it, not just the glamour of death. By giving us a tremendous insight into the character’s history and point of view, Palumbo allows us to understand that yes, he’s a monster but as we watch the actions of this killer we become the monster, watching the game, powerless to stop the excessive violence happening before our eyes, and yet unable to tear our gaze away. He hides behind a sleek and attractive exterior, but in truth is a demented and deviant monster. Palumbo’s story centers on the life of a serial killer, known as “The Photographer”. What writer and director Nick Palumbo has done is create a set of characters so horrifically believable, but so terribly interesting, it’s nearly impossible to turn your head away. “Murder-Set-Pieces” is so violent I actually felt like I was going to throw up a few times, and I have seen just about everything. I know I’m a girl, but that still means something). It’s directed impeccably, and it’s definitely, no holds barred, the most brutal and graphic film I’ve ever seen (that includes porn and all horror films. That’s why “Murder-Set-Pieces” is about to blow everyone’s minds. Indie films like “August Underground’s Mordum” have been so intent on showing bloodshed and gore that they lack any substance and, therefore, carry little credit in the festival circuit, or among other filmmakers. Recently, theatrical shockers like High Tension and Saw have practically hit the threshold of the level of violence audiences will stomach. Violence has been popular subject matter for indie films in the past year. I cannot stress enough how shocking and unsettling “Murder-Set-Pieces” is, and how terribly moved I was, in a terrible way. “Murder-Set-Pieces” is so much more violent and so much better than anything I’ve seen before in the genre.
Usually films of this caliber violence are hack jobs or wannabe snuff films with no real message, characters, or goals other than to kill naked w****s in front of a camera.
