A masterpiece of the giallo genre
“ TORSO IS SERGIO MARTINO’S MAGNUM OPUS.”
OLIVIER FATHER
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4K UHD & BLU-RAY
An American student studying art history in Perugia, Jane is enjoying the good life when a series of brutal murders strikes her university. The victims, two classmates, have been murdered by a mysterious killer whose macabre signature has baffled the police. To escape the growing anxiety, Jane and her friends decide to retreat to a secluded villa in the countryside. Little do they know that the murderer is also lurking nearby…
With Torso, Sergio Martino created his most macabre and stylized film. A delicious blend of suspense, eroticism, and graphic violence, Torso is considered one of the first bridges to modern horror cinema, marking the emergence of the slasher film . A landmark giallo of the early 1970s, acclaimed by Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth, Torso is available for the first time in France on Blu-ray™ and 4K Ultra HD™ (presented in Dolby Vision™ [HDR10 compatible]) in its new restoration.
