What more can I say? This is by far one of the best Slasher/Giallo's I've happened upon in years! Violent, atmospheric, stylish, moody and did I mention violent?
Yes violent is definitely the word, because this packs it on like hamburger joints pack in salad.... Tons! Slashings, stabbings, eye poking, strangulation, drowning, etc, etc, etc...
Don't listen to people whine about the only uncut version being Italian. I can assure you that once this bad boy starts playing, you won't care one bit!!!
"Bodies Bare Traces of Carnal Knowledge" gets a very BIG 10/10

"Bodies Bare Traces of Carnal Knowledge" gets a very BIG 10/10
Sergio Martino's "Torso" is one of the most underrated giallos ever made.A series of sex murders shock a college campus,and four young beautiful girlfriends(Jane,Daniella,Ursula and Katia)head for the safety of an isolated country villa.Soon a mysterious black-gloved killer begins to kill them one by one."Torso" is filled with plenty of sleaze and graphic violence,so fans of Italian exploitation won't be disappointed.The murders are stylish and properly gory,and Martino has populated the film with several strikingly beautiful women,all of whom,with the exception of Suzy Kendall,take off their clothes.Martino managed to generate a fair amount of suspense,especially during the breathtaking climax as Jane and the masked murderer engage in a chilling contest of cat-and-mouse.The score by Guido and Maurizio DeAngelis is pretty effective too.A must-see for fans of Italian giallos!
Jane (Suzy Kendall- THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE) and her free-spirited, female college friends head out for a weekend of frivolity at a country villa. This, after a be-gloved, masked maniac has already killed two of their number. The police are on the case, and seem to have some definite clues. However, the killer is pretty crafty, and is on a mission.
Once at the villa, Jane and company are having fun, when, guess who shows up to crash their party?
TORSO is another great giallo from the genre's golden age. With an interesting, psychological motive for the madness, several suspects, and almost non-stop nudity, this gem also packs some thrills and suspenseful moments. It delivers the bloody mutilations as well, which should make the gorehounds giddy. Ms. Kendall plays her desperate role with gusto!
Highly recommended for the true connoisseur of carnage and carnality...

With a title like 'Torso' one would expect this Italian horror film to either be very bloody or very lurid. In this case, it's both.
Murders at a Rome college forces a group of lady friends to retreat to an isolated house in the hills. But little do they know the killer has followed them...
While director Sergio Martino isn't Dario Argento or Mario Bava his direction in this film is pretty well done. He makes the most of a simple storyline with some lush filming locations, solid scenes of tight suspense, and an all-around attractive cast. Particularly great is the beautifully atmospheric stalking sequence with Carol in the woods, as well as the highly intense scene where Jane must hide from the killer while he dismembers one of her friends. This effort will be most entertaining to the exploitation fans, as the film has plenty of female nudity and the occasional bit of gore.
The cast is fairly decent, Suzy Kendall is the biggest stand-out though as a young woman trapped by the killer.
Over all a good horror effort that would later influence the slasher genre. Torso isn't for all tastes, but for the game giallo or slasher fan it's a great treat.

"Torso" is a simply stunning giallo. Sergio Martino's movie has some genuine edge-of-the-seat moments, a very attractive female cast, a superb score by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis and beautiful cinematography.
While some of the special effects are a little on the poor side, the film succeeds in keeping the viewer enthralled in the plot and its strong points far outweigh any minor criticisms.
I really enjoyed this movie. It's not often that a film can keep me in suspense like this one did. Stylish, thrilling, erotic and gripping, "Torso" gives most other giallo films a real run for their money.
