SERGIO MARTINO 1938 is an outstanding, innovative, stylish Italian director of
Spaghetti Westerns Giallos Polizieschi Thrillers Adventure
His most famous CULT Films include the legendary polished Giallo TORSO 1974 
Discuss this prolific, talented Italian Director his life, career etc etc.
As a matter of fact Iāve been picking up on a lot of Martinoās movies lately and last night 2019: After the Fall of New York rolled over the screen. A highly entertaining post-apocalypse movie starring Michael Sopkiw and with a nice part for the always good George Eastman.
Definitely recommended like the rest of the Martino movies Iāve seen lately:
Torso
Case of the Scorpionās Tail
Your Vice Is a Closed Room and Only I Have the Key
Gambling City
In fact the worst Martino movie Iāve seen must be his spaghetti western Arizona Colt Returns. Oh the irony.
Earlier Iāve of course seen the very fine Mannaja and also The Mountain of the Cannibal God.
He seems like a pleasant man from the interviews Iāve seen on misc. dvd releases.
When watching Martino in interview for The Mountain of the Cannibal God regarding the animal torture scenes, he said these were added by the producer.
Ruggero Deodato has also said similar things for one or more of his cannibal films
I find this a rather convenient answer.
I have found Umberto Lenzi to be less like this.
Letās face it, animal rights werenāt an issue when these films were made, at least not in Italy. And of course the directors knew what was going on more or less. But APART from that then

Case of the Scorpionās Tail
Your Vice Is a Closed Room and Only I Have the Key
[/quote]Check out also All the Colours of the Dark and Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh. I think these 2 are his best films.
Oh but I will 
Already got them on my shelf along with a long string of other gialli which Iāll be watching somewhere along the lineā¦ But thanks!
TORSO 1974 JOHN RICHARDSON SUZY KENDALL Luc Merenda Tina Aumont
Director : Sergio Martino Written By : Ernesto Gastaldi CCC Italian Productions
TORSO is widely acknowledged as one of the finest, most stylish, classic Italian Giallos.
JOHN āExecution/One Million Years BCā RICHARDSON and SUZY"Assault/Craze" KENDALL
head a distinguished top class cast along with genre regulars Luc Merenda , Tina Aumont.
The plot revolves round a psychotic masked killer who wears a black/red scarf and butchers beautiful young girls in many ingenious/gory ways. A masterpiece of the cinema.
My Vote For TORSO 1974 is 17.7 out of 20
Iām not into giallos, but I think Martino is regarded as being better at making those films than he was at making westerns.
Has anyone seen this?

No but it sounds bloody interesting!
Saw Martinoās All The Colors of the Dark last night. Must say that I was a little bit disappointed. Sure itās fun seeing Ivan Rassimov running around with clear blue eyes but the plot itself didnāt really catch me. Great cast though. Of the gialli Iāve seen by Martino I find Your Vice Is a Closed Room and Only I Have the Key most to my liking. Havenāt seen Strange Viceā¦ yet. It may come out on top

Dutch DVD release is the only one I know. Italian audio, Dutch subs, non-anamorphic widescreen. Not much of a giallo, more like made-for-tv thriller with some giallo-styled moments (few scenes from murdererās point of view, murderer wearing black leather gloves). Looks quite cheap. Way too dialogue-oriented to be followed in language one doesnāt understand. It has one great scene, though: the final flashback sequence where everything is explained partly takes place inside womanās womb and we see murderer as fetus! Only Italians could come up with something like thatā¦
edit: I bought it from Cine City.
