Join us as we dismember the paradoxically dark reality of "Torso," an Italian horror classic that centers on a masked killer on a throat-slitting, sexual spree. We hop into our little Italian car and journey into the film's unsettling depiction of violence, exploring its uncanny ability to get at a disturbing, “real” feeling, despite unrealistic effects (a Giallo staple). With Ryan awarding it a "rent" and Tim giving it a "stream," we discuss the film's unique tension where brutality meets believability and so much more. We promise it'll be a 'cut' above the rest!
