Trivia
Executive Producer Michael Ruggerio had previously worked on The American Nightmare (2000), one of the documentaries that inspired Going To Pieces. He always said he wanted to do a sequel about the Slasher movies of the 1980's. He happened to be good friends with author Adam Rockoff. After producer Rudy Scalese optioned the book rights to Going to Pieces and befriended Adam Rockoff, Adam made an introduction to Ruggerio who was now an executive at STARZ and championed the documentary to be made.

I am probably one of the biggest fans of slasher movies.Whenever I see one,I expect gore,violence,and mayhem.'Going to Pieces: The Rise of the slasher Film' delivers what I want.It shows us when the slasher genre was famous after such films such as 'Psycho', 'Halloween', and 'Scream'.It also shows us when the genre was becoming weak after films such as 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation' and many others.What really made the movie good was showing us some clips and death scenes of the films of the slasher genre,which makes this documentary both gory and entertaining.I just have one question before my review ends.

Where is the DVD?
