Suzy Kendall in I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale (1973)

"HE'LL LOVE YOU Â– TO PIECES!"
From Sergio Martino, director of the stylish All The Colors of the Dark and the truly disturbing Mountain Of The Cannibal God, comes this fine gem of a slasher giallo that sits well up there with the best from Bava (Mario!) and Argento.

Delicious students, who we can only assume are studying for a masters degree in stripping, head off for a vacation to a location remote enough to ensure undisturbed carnage should a killer be lurking nearbyÂ…

Luckily for fans of psycho sexual thrillers a black gloved saw-wielding nutter has followed them to their bordello of nudity and soon starts effective slayer multi-tasking by molesting and mutilating his way through a cast of fine beauties including the ever delicious Suzy Kendall!

TORSO (cert. 18) is released uncut (for the first time in the UK) on DVD by Shameless Screen Entertainment. The film will be presented remastered in 1.85:1 with English 2.0 sound. Also included on the disc is a Shameless original trailer gallery.

Trivia
During production, none of the cast was told who the killer was, and because of the high amount of red herrings in the film, many of the actresses were convinced it was someone else doing all the murders.

Goofs
Car lights are turned off behind the girl who is standing in front of it. She immediately turns around, but there is no one around or in the car. In such short time, no human being would be able to disappear.

Quotes
Franz: Death is the keeper of secrets.

The uncut version has been released by Anchor Bay Entertainment in widescreen and runs a couple of minutes longer.

Stunning giallo - a gripping thriller

"Torso" is a simply stunning giallo. Sergio Martino's movie has some genuine edge-of-the-seat moments, a very attractive female cast, a superb score by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis and beautiful cinematography.

While some of the special effects are a little on the poor side, the film succeeds in keeping the viewer enthralled in the plot and its strong points far outweigh any minor criticisms.

I really enjoyed this movie. It's not often that a film can keep me in suspense like this one did. Stylish, thrilling, erotic and gripping, "Torso" gives most other giallo films a real run for their money.
