Nick Palumbo’s sadistic slasher Murder-Set-Pieces created a lot of controversy when it was released in 2004 with a Nc-17 rating. Some considered the movie too gory and sexually violent and it was banned outright in the UK. We haven’t heard much from Palumbo since then, but Deadline reports that he is planning his return with two movies, “psychological horror” film Muse and “indie neo-noir thriller” Last Gas Station.
“ ... Muse introduces newcomer Samantha Mion as an actress descending into homicidal madness in Los Angeles. Patrick Scott Lewis (Zodiac) co-stars as a fellow actor. Palumbo wrote and will direct the pic, producing with David Palumbo and James Cullen Bressack (Hate Crime) for the trio’s Fright Flix banner,” Deadline said.
Palumbo is reportedly planning to cut Muse for an R rating, but knowing the director’s background and style there’s no doubt the movie will be heavy on the blood-soaked scenes.

Deadline reports that Murder-Set-Pieces director Nick Palumbo is coming back strong with two projects underway after releasing nothing in almost ten years.
13 days till principle photography begins on my new film ‘Muse’deadline.com/2013/04/murder…

First up is his upcoming film Muse, which Deadline describes as a “Psychological horror” film. It introduces actress Samantha Mion as “an actress descending into homicidal madness in Los Angeles”. It co-stars Patrick Scott Lewis (Zodiac), who also plays a fellow actor. His cult horror flick Murder-Set-Pieces took place in Las Vegas, looks like he’s expanding his brand of horror to the West Coast.
The other project that he has underway is The Last Gas Station, which is described as a “neo-noir thriller”. Palumbo wrote both films and is expected to direct them both as well.
Check out the “Rated-r” trailer for Murder-Set-Pieces…It makes American Psycho (2000) look pretty childish.

Joe Dallesandro, Jane Birkin in Serge Gainsbourg's Je t'aime moi non plus / I Love You, No I Don't According to the "censor watchgroup" site melonfarmers.com, Tom Six's The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) joins a number of other motion pictures banned in the last few years by the concerned folks at the British Board of Film Classification. Among those are several porn/sexually explicit titles (gay rape porn Lost in the Hood, Rob Rotten's The Texas Vibrator Massacre), Nick Palumbo's Murder Set Pieces, and Koji Shiraishi's Grotesque. Here are a few other titles that in decades past the BBFC board decided would harm the [...]...

Jason Hughes is a writer who wears many other hats. Besides writing books, the horror fan also works on screenplays, he is into special FX and even went to school on that, he screen prints and owns his own t-shirt company, impressive huh. One of my favorite highlights about Hughes is he has written a sequel to the movie Christine and I’d like to see that crazy car come back in his story, because it’s about time we see the Fury roll again! Check out my latest Versus with writer Jason Hughes.
Brian S- First off Jason, how'd you get into writing?
Jason Hughes- I've been writing since a very young age. Every since I basically knew how to write, I took Horror films and wrote a little short (about a page) story based on them. The Exorcist was my first film to "re-adapt" in a few paragraphs.

Horrick Films, LLC presents a film by controversial writer, director and producer Nick Palumbo (“Murder-Set-Pieces”) who has teamed up with acclaimed French cinematographer, Laurent Barés (“Inside”, “Frontière(s)") for the neo-noir 35mm feature thriller, “The Last Gas Station”.
Pre-production started in the Summer 2010. Renowned cult film director Palumbo is planning to push the envelope once again in a different genre. “The Last Gas Station” will be far removed from his past notorious work and is described as “a nightmarish, hallucinogenic examination of one man’s insatiable greed and the destructive path that follows in his wake.”
Supposedly the film will have a budget of $15 million. The film is slated for release sometime in 2011.

The next for director Nick Palumbo has an already impressive lineup of talent scheduled for this incredible sounding story of children lost in a land of horror. The Dp will be none other then Laurent Barès who shot not only Inside, but also Frontier(s) and the upcoming film La Meute among many others. Vincent J. Guastini, who's done makeup and special effects on such films as Requiem for a Dream and the upcoming Neighbor, will be designing and creating all the F/X for corpse. And the young Bella Thorne (has anyone seen any of her films?) will be starring. I was already sold with the storyline but the Dp clinched the deal.
Synopsis:
A small Midwestern town is Ground Zero as the living face the evils of their past as retribution and Apocalypse become one.
On a desolate farmland in the middle of a frozen winter, a terrible...

UPDATED 5:15 p.m. PT Feb. 28
LONDON -- The British Board of Film Classification has clamped an all-out ban on the DVD release of writer-director Nick Palumbo's "Murder Set Pieces" in the U.K.
It is only in rare cases that the BBFC outright rejects a proposed release and classification but Palumbo's tale of the activities of a psychopathic sexual serial killer was deemed unreleasable by the British body.
The rejection means "Murder" cannot be legally supplied anywhere in the U.K.
The decision was made by BBFC director David Cooke and president Quentin Thomas, among others.
A BBFC spokesperson said that the DVD release label, Philadelphia-based TLA Releasing, has 42 days to appeal the decision. "But even if there is an appeal, there are serious issues of other British laws this film is in potential conflict with," the spokesperson said.
The film contains scenes throughout of a serial killer raping, torturing and murdering his victims. Young children are among those terrorized and killed, and their inclusion in this abusive context is an added concern, the BBFC said.
