In the sun-drenched but sinister streets of Perugia, a serial killer is on the loose, strangling young women with red-and-black scarves. The police are baffled, and fear grips the university campus. Four female students, hoping to escape the mounting terror, retreat to a secluded countryside villa—but safety is an illusion. As the bodies pile up and the walls close in, they realize the killer is not only closer than they think but is hiding in plain sight. A masterclass in Italian giallo, ‘Torso’ drips with atmospheric dread, shocking violence, and an unsettling sense of paranoia that will keep you guessing until the final, chilling frame.

“Sergio Martino's 'Torso' is a tense, stylish giallo that keeps you on edge. The cat-and-mouse finale in the villa is pure suspense, and the killer reveal genuinely surprised me. Not for the faint of heart—the violence is brutal—but for genre fans, it's a must-see.”
“I appreciated the atmospheric buildup and the beautiful Italian setting, but the first half felt a bit slow. Once the girls reach the villa, it really picks up—the final 30 minutes are nail-biting. It's a solid effort but doesn't quite reach the heights of classic gialli like 'Deep Red'.”
“The red-and-black scarf motif is a clever touch, and the sense of isolation in the countryside is palpable. The acting is decent, but the real star is Martino's direction—he crafts some truly scary sequences. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves 70s horror.”
“I know it's a classic, but for me, it didn't age that well. The characters make dumb decisions, and the pacing is uneven. There are a few effective scares, but I found myself more bored than terrified. Only for diehard giallo completists.”
