A giallo masterpiece
"TORSO IS SERGIO MARTINO'S MAGNUM OPUS."
OLIVIER PÈRE
AVAILABLE FOR THE 1ST TIME IN 4K UHD & BLU-RAY
Jane, an American art history student in Perugia, is enjoying the dolce vita when a series of bloody murders strikes her university. The victims, two of her classmates, have been killed by a mysterious killer whose macabre signature leaves the police stumped. To escape the growing anxiety, Jane and her friends decide to retreat to a villa in the countryside. Little do they know that the murderer is also lurking nearby...
With Torso, Sergio Martino delivers 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. A leading giallo from the early 1970s, acclaimed by Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth, Torso is available for the first time in France in Blu-ray™ and 4K Ultra HD™ (presented in Dolby Vision™ [HDR10 compatible]) in its new restoration.
