Torso (Italian: I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale, lit.'The Bodies Bear Traces of Carnal Violence', also released as Carnal Violence) is a 1973 Italian giallo film directed by Sergio Martino, produced by Carlo Ponti, and starring Suzy Kendall, Tina Aumont, Luc Merenda, and John Richardson. Martino’s fifth giallo, the film centers on a string of brutal murders of young female students at an international college in Perugia. It has been called the earliest example of a slasher film.
