14 January 2023
Produced by the famous Carlo Ponti who intents to sell it on America he contracted the British star Suzy Kendall and had to change the picture's name into "Torso" due it was more attractive to worldwide audience upon request of the distributors whereof suggested the name, Sergio Martino draw up a mixing of sexploitation and slasher, aside Suzy Kendall all women involved exposed bountifully on nudity sequences, it somehow gave to the movie the cult status and notorious exponent of the Giallo genre.

Shot in Perugia a small old city in Italy, this quaint scenario enhance the picture with a fabulous backdrop, a renowned local University has been choice by many girls from everywhere, in this academic environment some girls were found death with strong brutality, the local police tracks down some clues, a sort of silk scarf was found in the crime scene only, therefore by a lack materiality these crimes stayed unsolved.

Just when four girls are invited to spending a time in an old farmhouse nearby a cliff, tree of them are killed and slashed by a racksaw, remaining Jane only, locked in the room, the killer will be back.

Thanks for reading.
