Shameless reissues Killer Nun (1978) and Torso (1973)
Two more sleazy shockers on the way from the newly-launched Shameless label - Killer Nun (1978) and Torso (1973).
Giulio Berruti's Killer Nun has a reputation that precedes it, with Anita Ekberg as said nun (Sister Gertrude), fresh out of brain surgery and at work in a hospital. But all is not well - and the reign of terror that the drug-fuelled Sister Gertrude initiates, not to mention her appetite for sex, means big problems for Mother Superior. Originally banned in the UK, and denounced by Mary Whitehouse, it's release here is uncut.
Torso, described as slasher giallo, stars Cinedelica favourite Suzy Kendall, heading up a group of students off in the wilds for a spot of fun - but with the misfortune to have a balaclava-clad, saw-wielding psychopath on their trail. You just know it's not going to be pleasant.
Both get a release on 26th November, remastered and with improved sound and trailer galleries, priced around £12.99 each.
