Nathan and Ryan slice into Torso (1973), Sergio Martino’s stylish and brutal giallo that bridges the gap between Italian murder mysteries and the American slasher craze to come. As university students are picked off one by one by a masked killer, the film dives deep into voyeurism, desire, and bloody paranoia—all wrapped in Martino’s distinct visual flair. The hosts discuss how Torso helped define the formula for later horror classics, its shocking violence, and why it remains one of the most influential (and underrated) giallo films of the era.
