Enter… if you dare the bizarre world of the psychosexual mind.

Torso (1973) follows a series of stranglings and dismemberments targeting female students, prompting several friends to seek refuge at a countryside estate. As the murderer infiltrates the villa and isolates the survivors, tension mounts in claustrophobic corridors and silent rooms. This giallo thriller blends voyeuristic menace and escalating brutality in a stark study of vulnerability and survival.
