A classic giallo, Torso finds a masked man with a hacksaw terrorizing the college town of Perugia, stalking and murdering a string of coeds. The final 20-30 minutes I found to be rather tense and engaging. Up until that point, the plot here was pretty bland. The lack of plot and character depth leaves plenty of room for softcore. I think Torso might actually be the Italian word for softcore. There are some undoubtedly beautiful people and beautiful imagery in this film and it’s a pretty fun watch for what it is.
