Arrow Video, with domestic sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has a new 4K film restoration (from the original camera negative) of director Sergio Martino’s 1973 (1975 domestic) film release of Torso ready for genre fans to enjoy on Sept. 17.

This 4K Ultra HD edition features both the original Italian-language version (running 94 minutes) and the English-dubbed domestic theatrical release presentation (about 90 minutes).  

Starring Suzy Kendall (The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Darker than Amber, To Sir, With Love, Tales that Witness Madness, etc.), Torso is a clever blend of classic Italian giallo with the trendy slasher horror elements that were emerging at the time.    Her friends are being murdered and hacked to pieces one by one … who is the killer, what’s the motive and will she survive?   

Bonus goodies include commentary from Kat Ellinger (“All the Colours of Sergio Martino”), alternate opening and closing credits, the 2017 Q & A session at the Abertoir International Horror Festival with Sergio Martino and five featurettes — “All the Colors of Terror,” “The Discreet Charm of the Genre,” “Dial S for Suspense,” “Women in Blood” and “Saturating the Screen.”
