Movie Reviews of Sadist
Movie Review: A surprise from the star of Eegah!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you only know Arch Hall Jr from his MST3K fodder, like Eegah, you ought to give this little drive-in shocker a try. Taut atmosphere, shoestring budget, and Hall's freakish performance as a leering white trash killer really make this live in your memory. I hate the leading man, and Marilyn Manning is just weird here, but Hall and the direction overcome the cheese factor.Movie Review: Worth it.....
Summary: 4 Stars
I have no idea how Mr. Hall kept up his acting in this cult off-the-wall movie! Kept me on the edge of my seat wondering "what's WRONG with these people!".....lol. Mediocre acting, but still a classic. Was disappointed with the ending, but how could it end any other way?!?!Movie Review: "Where are the people that run this place?"
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Sadist" is a pretty interesting film for a couple of reasons. 1.) For the time in which this film was made(1963) it must have been considered shocking or controversial. The subject matter is basically a group of 3 school teachers running into a psychopathic killer and his girlfriend. The movie is basically the killer terrorizing the 3, more mentally and emotionally than physically.
2.) Arch Hall Jr. really gives a convincing performance as Charles Tibbs, the killer. Many reviews I have read state that the acting is what kills this movie. I disagree. I think that Hall is just creepy, annoying and scary enough to make the viewer belive he is a Sadist.
3.) The ending. There is nothing pretty about it.
This movie is well worth the purchase, since it is available on Amazon at such a cheap price. Lots of tension and anxiety build-up and form an all-around decent picture. The direction of the film is also very well done.
ENJOY!
One more thing. The school teachers are on their way to a baseball game. I found it interesting that the two men are wearing short-sleeve dress shirts, complete with ties and the lady is wearing a church dress. Nowadays people don't even dress like that at many weddings.
Movie Review: WARNING -This Is A "Guilty Pleasure Flick"
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes, it's 60's exploitation tripe. No, you would'nt watch it with your mother or children. But you WOULD watch it, and get a kick out of it's over-the-top, leering tawdriness. Get a six-pack and some peanuts and let'r rip!
