"Nick Palumbo's exploitive, brilliant "Murder-Set-Pieces," a film primed to become a lightning rod for controversy and misdirected rage by the pious right and the spineless left. The film is a truly pure cinematic expression of violent sexual rage. "Murder-Set-Pieces," perhaps the greatest serial killer film ever made, manages to be one thing, while also commenting on that one thing at the same time. It's revolutionary, important, haunting work." - THE FILM JOURNAL

 "4 out of 4 Stars- For slasher film fans, this is the pot of gold at the end of the blood stained rainbow. The most erotically charged, aggressively deranged, unabashedly brutal American horror film EVER made. The perfect date movie-if your date happens to be Charles Manson. An instant-deeply twisted-classic."
- CBS NEWS

"For his second effort, the director Nick Palumbo erupts onto the cinematic scene with a high-anxiety spectacle that induces aneurysms in guardians of decency, Palumbo has made his own apoplectic fit of a movie in which blood cascades down faces and torsos, wherever fists, blades, bullets and, yes, a chain-saw blade have broken the skin. Palumbo's monstrous tableaus might just provoke cries for restriction in art even among staunch defenders of artistic freedom." - THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Director Nick Palumbo displays visual brilliance reminiscent of the best works of Dario Argento.
 - RUE-MORGUE MAGAZINE

"Interesting to speculate what scene it may have been about Nick Palumbo's glitzy simulated snuff movie, glued together by the story of a 12-year-old girl's developing aversion to her big sister's friend (Sven Garrett) that led three Hollywood labs to reject it for processing. A first in the HISTORY of motion pictures."
- LOS ANGELES WEEKLY

"An Instant Classic - ULTRA VIOLENT MAGAZINE

"The disturbing "Murder-Set-Pieces" is a highly stylized exploration of the mind of a serial killer, a gory blood soaked snuff film, reveling in its own shock value as a women are stabbed, strangled, raped and mutilated in every conceivable - and a few inconceivable ways." - THE NEW YORK POST

 "Nick Palumbo has taken the horror film to a place never before seen in history."
- WILLIAM LUSTIG, LEGENDARY DIRECTOR OF "MANIAC" (1980)

"Murder-Set-Pieces" is the real deal. It's more than just a GREAT film; it's pure poetry."
- ROGER WATKINS, LEGENDARY DIRECTOR OF "THE LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET" (1972)

"Aptly titled "Murder-Set-Pieces," writer-helmer Nick Palumbo's second feature offers over-the-top horror imagery as a Las Vegas serial killer dispatches one victim after another, the pic distinguishes itself via sheer extremity of gore, sadism and tastelessness." - VARIETY

"The Most Graphic Horror Film Ever Committed to Celluloid." - HUSTLER MAGAZINE

 "Murder-Set-Pieces" is about to blow everyone's minds. It's incredibly good. It's extremely well made. 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.) "Murder-Set-Pieces" is the serial killer film to end all serial killer films."  - FILM THREAT

"3 out of 4 Stars" - An interesting effort to make the ultimate horror movie by imitating modern classics of the genre in a systematic way, putting actors from the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" into the cast for good measure. Be warned that the results are in aggressively awful taste from beginning to end, though."
- THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

"Murder-Set-Pieces" is a sick, repellent, and ultimately offensive movie." - FANGORIA MAGAZINE

Amazingly, "Murder-Set-Pieces" is one of those rare films that actually lives up to the hype. It's brutal, graphic, shocking, unsettling and upsetting - and I loved every minute of it. Ultimately, "M-S-P" is an amazing film that will offend and disturb almost everyone who manages to view it." - IGN.COM
