Pieces of Talent (2014)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Brilliant and touching

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This was such Shiite, I watched the whole thing, I doubt anyone else has. Another idiot with a camera and 20 bucks. All reviews are "unpaid" involved... includes IMDb. Try to watch it... you won't last, it sucks so bad it's painful. Oh the mess that made this will add tons of codoos to erase mine.... I hope I saved some of you time..........Shame on you... SHAME....BE EMBRRASSED for your involvement in this......

I saw this reviewed in more than a couple 'horror' themed magazines, and also online at a couple 'horror' themed websites, as a "Masterpiece" and as an "Extremely Terrifying Experience" with an original story, and great acting... this movie is not any of these claims.So now, I'm rethinking all these magazines and websites that I've been reading for years, might no longer be worthy of my time, money, or effort.There are a couple of small moments throughout the movie, that are interesting, but over all it's boring, boring, boring. As a horror movie, I wish I could give it a big fat 0 out of 10. Not scary, not gory, not thrilling, not good.WHAT this movie really is, is a commercial for smoking. It seems Everyone is a chain smoker in this movie. Even the very pretty Kristi Ray, who plays Charlotte, turned me off with all the cigarettes hanging out of her mouth. I guess I will never understand the need or fascination with smoking, but if THAT was the horror of this movie, the potential of the actors getting Cancer, then... I guess they win?

Pieces of Talent has been a magnificent surprise for me that almost didn't happen! I was attending a horror con on the Gulf Coast for the weekend and the Pieces of Talent poster and trailer kept catching my eye. I did a little research and decided to pick it up on the last day of the con...can I say, "Best. Decision. Ever." The independent horror scene is where I keep finding my favorite movies this year. This one did not disappoint! It is a perfect balance of horror, love, horror, art, horror, gore, and a little bit more horror. Add two great leads (Kristi Ray and David Long...who happens to play himself in this movie, kind of scary!) plus a perfect pace and you've got an excellent movie! This movie will evoke many different emotions from you. I felt tense the entire movie, but at the same time I felt happy during some scenes, sad during others, and disgusted during a few...the gore was great! :-D The direction and look of this movie is absolutely beautiful, also. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone. Can't wait to see what the future holds for these guys! Wonderful movie!

What was good: Camera work is great and atmosphere setup is consistent through all the movie, i suppose teenagers might like it. Main killer did a good job playing the maniac.What was bad: First of all - there's nothing about talent, and very little about pieces(heads only). The screen on the cover is intake from one-time dream and has no connection to the whole movie. In my opinion it fails to fall in horror category. Lacks of tension, absence of unknown, very simplified and straightforward scenes, - all of this is far from entertaining the viewer. There's very little gore and blood in this movie, scenes of murder are focused on the psychotic side of the killer rather than on the act itself and all are did in the same way. Film doesn't allow you to peek deep inside personalities which are barely shown on a surface. Neither it allows us to see deep human instincts which are often Ending is a big disappointment, you won't get what you hope for, neither you will be shocked by twisted turn of events - scenes are set up like "Scream, then die fast."Conclusion: This movie can be fine as a background show on some party, or maybe as an entry point for those who want to get into horror movies but are scared to. BUT, if you really enjoy gore, horror, thrill, twisted thought, depravity, etc stay away from this movie, it has none of it. Take a look at other works of authors before watching this.
