The Torturer

The gorgeous young actress Ginette auditions for the lead role in the first long feature film of the controversial artist Alex Sherba and she's almost immediately submitted to a long series of harassing questions and indecent proposals. Alex quickly turns out to be a mentally unstable and potentially dangerous man, and when she finds an earring belonging to a missing friend of hers, Ginette even suspects that he might be a killer and starts her very own private investigation. Meanwhile, the torturing of other poor girls cheerfully continues in the dungeon of Alex' parental house.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

With the October Horror Challenge taking place on the IMDb Horror board,I decided to take a look at film maker Lamberto Bava's IMDb page,where I discovered that Bava had made a torturer horror which appears to have not come out on non-Italian DVD.Talking to a DVD seller,I was pleased to discover that he had recently tracked down the movie,which led to me getting ready to face the torture.The plot:Auditioning for the latest film from underground director Alex Scerba, aspiring actress Ginette Cazonni is taken by Scerba's charms,and ends up having a one night stand with him.Getting set to leave his place, Ginette finds an ear ring which looks just like the ones that her missing friend Marzia Foster used to wear.Fearing that something has happened to Foster, Cazonni starts to investigate and discovers that before she disappeared,Foster had auditioned for Scerba.Breaking into Scerba's house, Cazonni soon finds Foster and makes a torturous discovery.View on the film:Stabbing the torturer horror set pieces,co-writer/(along with Diego Cestino/Luciano Martino/Dardano Sacchetti/Michele Massimo Tarantini & Andrea Valentini) director Lamberto Bava and cinematographer Ugo Menegatti drizzles the sequence in stylish silver which allow for the blood to burst across the screen.Stepping out of the torture chamber,Bava clouds Ginette (played by a cute Elena Bouryka,who also appears naked) in moody low-lighting,which thanks to shooting the film on grainy digital,gives the title an unexpectedly icy Gothic atmosphere.Displaying a desire to stray away from the torture horror foundations,the writers attempt to give the film a Giallo bite in the search for the missing Foster,which sadly dries up due to the title having to go back to the gore.Whilst they are unable to torture the Giallo,the writers give the terror a sly satirical edge,as each of the actresses sees the gory acts as the demands of a "sadistic" director,as the torturer gets tortured.

Really, the only positive thing I can tell you about the entire torturing movie is that the name definitely fits perfectly. The movie being the torturer and anyone watching it being the tortured. Plot, the lighting, camera-work, acting, everything... just utter crap. I guess you could call it original seeing as it's the only movie that was bad enough to make me not want to turn it off (which I don't often do I might add) but keep watching for laughs at it's creators. This also is the only movie that has actually managed to make me want to register and write a comment here about it, especially after reading some semi-positive replies about it.This movie was rock bottom, and watching it might cause brain damage.Watch at your own risk.

After 14 (!) years of hanging around quietly on TV-sets and directing things unknown to the masses, Lamberto Bava finally shows some signs of life again by returning to familiar horror-territory. Yay! Only... it's damn sad to see it's only an unimaginative twitch and a pathetic attempt to ride the successful wave of torture-horror à la SAW and HOSTEL and the recent outbreak of fake-snuff related horror-flicks.Cinematographically speaking, Lamberto Bava sure tries to do his best with the very low budget this movie had. Seemingly shot on video, the movie shows us examples of original and even captivating framing (like the one shot were you see a dead girl's body laying in the mud on the foreground when Elena Bouryka is pulling electrical wires out of the ground in the background) and Bava also used a lot of contemporary editing-tricks to make it all look a bit more modern and slick. The lighting wasn't bad at all, really, but the few daylight scenes looked awful.Now as far as the story goes: It's retarded. They might have gotten away with a "plot" like this during the 70's, but having to sit through something like this these days, simply is an insult. The women are all such stupid and dumb characters you just want to hit them in the head with a blunt object yourself and get it over with. They're just too dumb to realize what they are getting themselves into, while any person with at least the braincells of a frog would realize that they should get themselves out of the situation they have gotten themselves mixed up in. I really scratched my head numerous times.The scriptwriters (including Bava) didn't even try on this one. They tried to disguise this torture-movie as some sort of Nu-Giallo movie, but they failed to insert any kind of red herring and you just know right away who's doing the killing. It can be only one person, really. And then there's this totally pointless and ridiculous sub-plot about 'traumatized mommy' babbling nonsense and a kiddies song with the lyrics "this door stays locked" (or something like that). It doesn't even lead to anything. And what about a hero who saves his girl, then walks by a female victim who's still alive and tied to a cross, simply ignores her, leaves her in pain, walks outside the building, closes the door, holds his girl and says "I'm glad it's all over now"??? I think "OMG" would be slightly appropriate... And what about the previous scene where our hero pulls his girl out of the water after she had drowned like 30 minutes ago... and then after 5 minutes of violin-music she opens her eyes again...??? Come on, please... I rolled my eyes on that one.I have to admit Elena Bouryka is quite pleasing on the eyes as the leading lady... even for a skinny blonde bimbo, ehrr... I mean: Lady. And she can even act a bit... but only when she does NOT speak and looks scared or is investigating things. Seriously, her high-pitched, squeaky (dubbed, probably...?) voice had me convinced she was born in the wrong era. She should have been an actress back when they were still making silent movies... Well, yeah, I'm being a bit harsh on the lady probably. She's still young and I'd like to hear her talk once with her real voice (preferably with a sexy Italian accent), instead of this dubbed one. The dubbing was quite good in this film, actually. But really, it should be in this day and age.So were the several gruesome and bloody make-up effects. Good and numerous enough to please any gore-hound or torture-fan. And that brings us to the only point this movie has to make: coming up with as many inventive ways to torture attractive women to death and try to get them all to take their clothes off in front of the camera. And that's all this movie is about. It's pretty sick, yes. It has a lot of beautiful women showing skin, yes. I even liked it for that. But it's a very bad film, children.

I am not very familiar with Lamberto Bava oeuvre, but after 'The Torturer' I don't know if I want to become familiar with it. Story, if there is any, revolves around young director whose work is in vein of grand guignol, and his new mistress - a wannabe actress. She shows up for an audition, but eventually they become lovers. In the background there is plot about mysterious torturer, who does couple of nasty things to some fine looking young woman. But it is really irrelevant, as the main point of the movie is to show some nudity and sex, and a little bit of torture. Movie is done in porno aesthetics - camera focuses on women's breasts and crotches (nothing hard core of course), and the viewer isn't spared camera angle from between one heroine's legs. Acting is completely lame, plot laughable, so it's hard to sit through it. Of course nudity and violence compensates a little the rest of the movie, but only a little bit. Nods to gialli (especially Argento's work) are completely redundant, as they don't add up to the story. Yet violence sometimes becomes very graphic and nasty. and actresses are really good looking. nothing really catchy in here, but one can give a look.
