[New Dates] THE 10TH VICTIM, TORSO Coming To Blu-ray From Blue Underground August 30th

This is something I only missed because I wasn't in contact with Blue Underground until very recently.  They are releasing two very entertaining Italian films on Blu-ray this August 30th [new dates below].  First up is Elio Petri's The 10th Victim, a low-budget futuristic sci-fi comedy starring the legendary Marcello Mastroianni and the beautiful Ursula Andress.

The Original Sexy '60s Cult Classic Is Back!

It is the 21st Century, and society's lust for violence is satisfied by "The Big Hunt," an international game of legalized murder. But when the sport's two top assassins (Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress) are pitted against each other, they find that love is the most dangerous game of all. As the world watches, the hunt is on. Who will become THE 10TH VICTIM?

THE 10TH VICTIM is the international cult classic whose wild action and sexy style has influenced a generation of movies, from THE RUNNING MAN to the AUSTIN POWERS series. Now this outrageous satire has been newly remastered from the original negative and is presented here in groovy High Definition!
One really awesome thing about this set is the inclusion of Marcello: A Sweet Life, a feature length documentary on the life and career of Marcello Mastroianni.  The 10th Victim has had a pretty lackluster history on DVD, so I'm excited to see what Blue Underground do with it.

Now due September 13th

The second August 30th release is Sergio Martino's (The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh) classic giallo, Torso.  This film is another of the' 70s precursors to the '80s slasher boom.  The film stars Suzy Kendall and is a must on any giallo fan's list. Blue Underground's new special edition will feature the full-length director's cut for the first time ever, so even if you had it before, it's time to double dip!

One Day She Met A Man Who Loved Beautiful Women... BUT NOT ALL IN ONE PIECE!

A series of sex murders shock a college campus, and four beautiful young girlfriends head for the safety of an isolated country villa. But as they succumb to their own erotic desires, their weekend of pleasure becomes a vacation to dismember at the hands - and blade - of the lecherous maniac.

Directed by Sergio Martino (MOUNTAIN OF THE CANNIBAL GOD) and starring Suzy Kendall (THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE) and Tina Aumont (SALON KITTY), this Euro Horror chiller was originally released in America with much of its controversial violence removed by censors. Now freshly transferred in thrilling High Definition from the original negative, TORSO is presented in both its Uncensored English Version and Full-Length Italian Director's Cut for the first time ever!

Now due September 27th
