31 Days Of Horror Day 26: Torso

Director Jason Christopher goes international as he talks about the Italian scare sex fest Torso from the early 70's  as this special month long event celebrating horror says pass the pasta!

There’s so many horror movies out there that I have not seen yet. I’ve always wanted to see this movie, but could mot find it anywhere. Then Blue Underground released it on DVD and Blu Ray in 2011. Thank you for this 1973 Italian horror flick.

A series of sex murders shock a college campus, and four beautifully young girlfriends head for the safety of an isolated country villa. But as they succumb to their own erotic desires, their weekend of pleasure becomes a vacation to dismember at the hands – and blade – of the lecherous maniac.

The movie was originally released in America with much of its controversial violence removed by censors. With this re-release its has both the directors cut and the theatrical cut. Awesome!

The disc is jam packed with extras like, an introduction by Eli Roth, TV spots, trailers, and more fun stuff! The Blu Ray transfer is pretty decent considering it's a 70's movie.

After seeing this you’ll be like oh Eli Roth lifts off this movie for Hostel 2 but that’s okay because he completely admits it. Who doesn’t trade off in films ?

You should definitely check it out, especially if you love foreign horror!

5 days till Halloween.
