TORSO - WHERE WHORES MEET SAWS!
From Sergio Martino, director of the stylish All The Colors of the Dark and the
truly disturbing Mountain Of The Cannibal God, comes this fine gem of a slasher
giallo that sits well up there with the best from Bava (Mario!) and Argento.
Delicious students, who we can only assume are studying for a masters degree
in stripping, head off for a vacation to a location remote enough to ensure
undisturbed carnage should a killer be lurking nearby…
Luckily for fans of psycho sexual thrillers a black gloved saw-wielding nutter has
followed them to their bordello of nudity and soon starts effective slayer multi-
tasking by molesting and mutilating his way through a cast of fine beauties
including the ever delicious Suzy Kendall!
TORSO (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£12.99) by Shameless Screen
Entertainment on 26th November 2007. The film will be presented remastered in
1.85:1 with English 2.0 sound. Also included on the disc is a Shameless original
trailer gallery.

Why doesn`t play.com stock this title?!.As it`s the place i bought other shameless titles!.
Sorry about that Wayne, the link has been updated; Torso’s hiding in Play’s adult section at the moment unfortunately.
I complained about the film being in play`s adult section,and i believe they`ve moved it now as you can find it now without having to click the over 18 bit!.Thanks for the link!.
This is the best English friendly version of the TORSO. Others are either misplaced scenes, cut or in am#nother language only. Well done Shameless, epecially for submitting it and the BBFC (I’ll give them credit once!) for releasing it completely uncut.
Is this actually uncut? some of the scenes are very strangely and badly edited if so? the first murder especially.
It’s 100% uncut from the master which we believe to be uncut - not had anyone else raise this with all the comparison reviews done. Certainly if we know of cuts we will say and they would only be censor cuts - we try to ensure we have the most complete versions of all our films.
Thanks for replying. I love this film, its up there with the best of them but perhaps martino just edited in a unique way. im sure you know which bits i mean, the music jumps and cuts really strangely during the first murder. and again as the killer starts chopping the girl up at the end. I amay check another dvd version to compare. anyway, good work, im just about to order nightrain murders. Looks pretty cool. All the best. Oh, any plans to release toxic zombies(forest of fear)?
Having purchased for my appallingly vast collection Torso, i have been suitably impressed with the entire presentation of these Shameless releases. The shelving of yellow boxes near my Mondo Macabro red box selections are somewhat vivid & alarming..applause all round for putting out what collectors want, such quality tramsfers & with a salute to the 80’s era of video-spillage! I will be purchasing a great many more titles. Please keep me informed.. many thanks.
