It’s been awhile for me since the concept of a new genre flick really made me stop and say, “What the f*ck!” But thanks to the Bava family that dry spell is no more. Horror Magazine reports that Lamberto Bava, son of Mario, is in pre-production on THE TORTURER. Intrigued?
Here’s the synopsis: “A dark and gloomy theater set for strange castings. An awful and neglected villa. A stage writer who pushes young actresses to put themselves at risk in morbid auditions thick with physical pain and pleasure. Around the writer stir his ancient and sick mother, his agent/stepfather, the aspiring actors and a young actress with whom he falls in love. Who is the torturer who tears to pieces the bodies of the actresses?”
Tell me that doesn’t sound absolutely bloody grand! Plus it’s set to be shot in English in anticipation of an international release. Cool! You know we’ll keep you updated compadres.
