Torso

Torso

Directed by Sergio Martino • 1973 • Italy
Starring Suzy Kendall, Tina Aumont, Luc Merenda

One of giallo maestro Sergio Martino’s most acclaimed films revels in the genre’s time-honored traditions while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the modern slasher movie. A sex maniac is prowling the streets of Perugia, targeting the picturesque university town’s female students. Alarmed at the plummeting life expectancy of the student body, Jane (Suzy Kendall) and her three friends elope to a secluded country villa—only to discover that, far from having left the terror behind, they’ve brought it with them! TORSO finds its director at the top of his game, delivering copious levels of violence, sleaze, and one of the tensest cat-and-mouse games ever committed to celluloid.
