This is his weakest Giallo imo. Not a fan of the cover artwork. But I am curious about the new transfer. All previous releases looked pretty bad.

I am PUMPED

This is a fantastic giallo. Very excited

I recently scanned my photo negatives for this one -- should be a pretty killer release (and will blow away the previous Blus).

MagellanvsHimself · 07-27-2018, 02:59 PM

Very excited about this release - Torso is an excellent giallo and has an absolutely wonderful soundtrack. My favorite Sergio Martino film for sure - it doesn't hurt that the absolutely beautiful Suzy Kendall stars here.

The Great Owl · 07-27-2018, 03:02 PM

I’m all in. This is a great giallo.

BladeRunner2007 · 07-27-2018, 03:10 PM

I seen it 4 or 5 times. I don't get the appeal of this one.

Suzy Kendall in short tight miniskirts for starters

This one has always managed to escape me. I'll watch this soon to avoid a blind buy. 2 (different?) versions are available to stream on Amazon. For those that want to try before they buy.

GasmaskAvenger · 07-27-2018, 03:36 PM

Time to sell off that lousy Shameless blu-ray!

I always wanted to check this out but never got around to it! Some of you know my tastes, would this be up my alley? I love me some gialli and slasher aesthetics.

cheez avenger · 07-27-2018, 04:17 PM

Sweet! I have the Blue Underground release and always thought it was great - that one also has both cuts, as well. Day 1 for me!

Kakihara · 07-27-2018, 04:22 PM

I recently saw Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key and thought it was horrible but I do like Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh and All the Colors of the Dark. Would I like Torso?

Frankly speaking, I'm not a big fan of Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key either, but if you liked Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh and All the Colours of the Dark, you can't go wrong with Torso

Love all 3 films. Hated Torso, though...
