Arrow Video continues its exploration of Italian cult cinema with this volume of Giallo Essentials, bringing together three more suspense-filled exemplars of the genre!
In Massimo Dallamano's What Have They Done to Your Daughters? (1974), hot-headed Inspector Silvestri (Claudio Cassinelli, The Suspicious Death of a Minor) and rookie Assistant District Attorney Vittoria Stori (Giovanna Ralli, Cold Eyes of Fear) investigate the apparent suicide of a teenage girl, leading them to a sordid prostitution ring whose abusers occupy the highest echelons of Italian society. Sergio Martino's Torso (1973) helped lay the groundwork for the American Slasher Movie: when a ruthless killer begins to target the female university students of Perugia, Jane (Suzy Kendall, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) and her friends flee for the peace of the countryside, only to discover that the threat isn't far behind. Andrea Bianchi's Strip Nude for Your Killer (1975) delivers depravity in droves as ambitious photographer Magda (Edwige Fenech, Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key) and her on-off boyfriend, love rat Carlo (Nino Castelnuovo, The English Patient), team up to solve the spate of highly sexualized murders that are rocking a prestigious Milanese fashion house.
Featuring grisly murders, amateur sleuths and motorcycle-riding maniacs, these iconic gialli are restored in 2K from their original negatives and are presented alongside a raft of juicy extras!

Collector beware!!!!
For a company that wants to appeal to collectors, they sure have no idea how to do that. The first FOUR box sets of this series had slip covers and normal sized Cases inside. The new one? Smaller box… not a slip… slim cases… it’s smaller on the shelf than the previous four. So it looks bad! Bad enough that they do not make the description/extras sheets small enough to fit inside the boxes and you have to find another place or crease them to get them to fit. Now this. Why??? Why not make FIVE look like the other FOUR? Great movies I already had. They wouldn’t sell me the box separately (sadly) so I rebought them so they’d match on the shelf. Nope! The joke was on me. Beware folks!!!
