Just finished fast fowarding through Torso, and whilst it isn’t your fault the movie is absolutely horrendous it IS your fault that you made such a big deal about it being “UNCUT for the first time ever”! It was obviously never been resubmitted to the BBFC since its initial release because it’s a piece of junk. There is hardly any gore, and the gore we do see is laughable. And don’t come back claiming it’s because we’re used to seeing much worse in this day and age because any Argento or Fulci film would destroy this for carnage! Shame on you and your ‘Shameless’ actions for making me buy this, thinking it was a lost gem in the world of giallo.

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.

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)?

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.

Is this actually uncut? some of the scenes are very strangely and badly edited if so? the first murder especially.

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.

Sorry about that Wayne, the link has been updated; Torso’s hiding in Play’s adult section at the moment unfortunately.
