Sergio Martinos Torso (1973) is a brutal, sexually charged fusion of Giallo and proto-slasher horror. A series of student murders terrorizes Perugia, driving a group of women to a remote villa where the masked killer closes in. With its voyeuristic lens, escalating violence, and claustrophobic finale, Torso bridges the elegant mystery of 1970s Italian Giallo with the raw body-count horror that would define the slasher era.. Shameless Screen Entertainment TORSO is hailed by both Tarantino and Eli Roth as director Sergio Martinos masterpiece. And its electrifying denouement, elevated to the level of Hitchcock, is their avowed inspiration! Made after his uber stylish Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh & All The Colours of the Dark, here Martino goes deeper into sexually-charged giallo thereby becoming one of the genres most iconic exponent! Luscious students, whom we can only assume are studying for a PhD in stripping, head off for a vacation. Luckily for fans of psycho sexual thrillers, a black-gloved saw-wielding killer has followed them to their sapphic retreat and starts effective slayer multi-tasking by mutilating his way through a cast of hot beauties.. This new HD restored version is presented in its most complete form ever, anywhere, with unique new English rebuilds, finally doing justice to this Giallo masterpiece. Från IMDB: When the University of Perugia is rocked by a string of murders committed with red-and-black scarves, four co-eds retreat to a countryside villa where the killer is closer than they think.
