80's horror flick "Pieces"...is this available on DVD?

chaz k · 10-28-06, 08:51 PM

Im in the horror movie mode so i am trying to buy some 80's horror flicks that i watched growing up. I went on DDD and a few other sites and there was nothing....so im assuming this is not available?

Pieces is available, but hacked to bits.

Diamond among others released a standalone for sure

it is still available in

but a better release is being worked on by Grindhouse. Who did the Cannibal Holocaust disc. Supposed to be from a pristine print....been waiting a while for it.

thanks Cameron, i was just about to post my reply with regards to the Diamond release. however the cover that i have - which can be seen in my dvd profiler - is different.

i sure hope that Grindhouse is still releasing this one...

yah, it seems diamond released it with 3 seperate covers...the first two were similar, this one is a total overhaul

It's just trying to live up to its name. Wasn't there also a release of this on dvd from one of those bargain companies?

Gonna be a long wait for the Grindhouse version, what with Murawski busy on SPIDERMAN 3. Until then, I've got a Diamond version with yet a different cover. Can anyone confirm that the Diamond version is cut?

Yeah, one of Brentwood's 4 Movies releases: Blood Bath. It's full screen and crappy quality. The back cover says "unrated" but I won't assume it's the uncut version.

I believe all the editing/restoration had been finished for Pieces. The new print is getting a show at the Grindouse festival. Just need to get all the extras/commentaries etc finished.
