The Sadist (1963)
9/10
A Case Study of Two Savages.
24 May 2021
I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs n got disturbed by the sheer amount of tension.

Revisited it recently. This film is indeed full of terror n suspense.

A trio of docile teachers are tormented by a sadistic couple and that too in broad daylight but in an isolated place.

The film is loosely based on the killing spree of Charles Starkweather.

I would have easily rated it a 10 for being a top notch heart pounding thriller but Arch Hall Jr's facial expressions are weird throughout the movie n he did a lot of overacting.

Rob Zombie has copied a lot from this movie.

His House of 1000 Corpses, The Devils Rejects, 3 from Hell n 31 copied a lot from this movie.

Rob Zombie's wife Sheri Moon Zombie too copied Marilyn Manning's acting from this movie.
