Review of Torso

Torso (1973)
6/10
'Yellow' slasher.
29 June 2006
This was hyped to death as a slasher flick but it plays more as a murder mystery.

A couple of ladies spend time at a country mansion. A ski-masked creep with a large hacksaw starts killing. As far as plots go, that's it, and originality wasn't big for the writers. But in fairness, it wasn't as trite back then as it is now either.

Smoky atmosphere with some decent chase scenes. And the producers were clearly Argento fans. The scares were there, but not enough of them really. I'd say more, but I'd blow it.

This is a decent enough outing.
