THE SADIST (1963)

! No longer available

     Another emission from Arch Hall pere et fils, who also gave us the reprehensible EEGAH!, with Richard Kiel.
I first saw this in 1973, on WJW'S LATE NITE MOVIE, simply listed, o'course, as "movie". Two hours later, I had to take a walk at 3 am, just to clear my head.

     Enjoy.

This is actually a very good B-movie and Hall Jr. is unexpectedly excellent. If you go into this one expecting the usual crap, you could be pleasantly surprised.

I LOVE this movie! I had no clue it even existed until I saw it for sale in Sinister Cinema's VHS catalog in 1998!
I still have that big box tape to this day!

Here's a re-issue poster (rated R!!!) under the title SWEET BABY CHARLIE-refrencing Charles Starkweather-whose crimes inspired this film. Oh-his crazy ass girlfiend Carol Ann Fugate-lives right here in Michigan now.



This is an intense,suspenceful psycho shocker that was sadly overlooked in it's day-I think it's right up there in my top ten horror films of the 60's.
