On this episode, we look at the 1973 giallo feature, Torso.
Set amidst the pristine historic backdrop of Perugia, Italy, there’s a black-gloved killer on the loose. Of course. And he’s hunting down college students in this gorgeous setting, using a silk scarf as his MO.
Directed by Sergio Martino, the man behind the infamous The Mountain of the Cannibal Gods, Torso has its moments, but ultimately falls flat.
It does have lots of nudity though.
Planet of the Vampires is 100% vampire-free. But who cares, right? It’s freakin’ Bava, people. And a little Super Mario goes a long way, even if this isn’t the genre he’s best known for.
A mysterious ship is adrift in the Hudson River…Authorities board her, and they encounter gooey green eggs. Instead of approaching with caution, one of them grabs the strange cargo.
