Episode 205 - Torso

Published: May 25, 2023, 8 a.m.

Join us as we dive deep into 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 effect (a Giallo staple). With Ryan awarding it a "rent" and Tim giving it a "stream," we dissect the film's unique tension where brutality meets believability and so much more. We promise it'll be a 'cut' above the rest!
