You have heard my personal review and verbal promotion for the past few years, since before the film even came out (due to the Special Effects team that was involved). This is the film in which all fans who know me personally have been waiting for. Hell-o, Gore Maggots of the extreme and boundary pushing puss heads. Starring: Jade Risser, Sven Garrett, Valerie Baber, Fred Vogel, Christi Wiles, Jerami Cruise, Tony Todd, Gunnar Hansen, Ed O’ Neil and Cerina Vincent When a Las Vegas fashion photographer (Sven Garrett) develops a penchant for murder, the body count rises swiftly and steadily as the shutterbug killer manages to deceive just about everyone he encounters - everyone, that is, but an 11-year-old girl - in this film notable for its heaping helping of gore and sadism. Since he loves to exaggerate and hype things up, and not deliver in the end.Sin City makes an appropriate setting for this over-the-top slasher/sexploitation flick from writer-director Nick Palumbo. But as usual, you can't take what he says for 100% fact/truth. Palumbo claims the uncut version will be released either this year or in the future. Unless whoever does the ordering viewed them,and said "Hell no!"(which Palumbo claims happened).
I'm sure most could get into various retailers. So the studios always aim for edited R and uncut/NC-17 versions.īut for films released unrated like MSP was(it was never offically given an NC-17 rating!). If a film is NC-17,then yes,definitely no one will carry it. I don't know if it's true about retailers enforcing studios to trim certain films or not carry them entirely or not. This is why the opening credit/pre-credit sequence is different than the ' 90 minutes directors cut' that Palumbo briefly released himself on dvd. They edited it themselves and used the original uncut 105 minute theatrical print. And so it was edited to an R rating.īut the director was not apart of the editing of the film at all for LG R rated release. The director claims though that no retailer would carry the film in uncut form because of the content. Most likely,it was the investors sold the film to LG and opted for an R rated wide release. The only place I've seen the R rated package has been online. I've seen the unrated Where The Truth Lies in Blockbusters and Wal-Marts here in MN. Whether or not it was ratings related, the film after it's brief extremely limited theatrical release fell into legal problems. The director firmly points his finger at Lionsgate and the MPAA for this, the film was released with a NC-17 theatrically and if he would have had his way, he wouldn't have given his film to Lionsgate for video distribution. I mean for god's sake the MPAA has PRIESTS sitting on the appeals board!Much of the gore was excised for 'Murder Set Pieces' to secure it's R-rating by the MPAA. If you haven't watched "This Film is Not Yet Rated" (which of course BB doesn't carry in-store because it's NC-17) you would learn that retailers such as BB heavily influence the MPAA especially in the appeal process. I mean for god's sake the MPAA has PRIESTS sitting on the appeals board!
You can't find this edition in any retail store that I have searched.
Murder set pieces uncut dvd movie#
"Where the Truth Lies" is listed as a "Home DVD Edition" or something like that at BB because of a three-way in the movie that had to much "thrusting" during a sex scene. I'm sure the director allowed such massive cuts to his film simply to get wider exposure hence enticing people to seek out the original cut. Trust me.the entire TITLE sequence(!) has been altered which included references to 9-11 and Hitler not to mention the various brutal killings throughout the film. What evidence is there that bbv had these movies re cut for rental.īecause I have the original cut of "Murder Set Pieces." Although released through Lionsgate (a studio which has no problem with numerous "unrated" dvds) BB demanded at least 10 minutes in cuts before they would release it as a rental.
