Review of The Sadist (1963) by Hiro P — 26 Oct 2007
Arch hall Jr. was an inept lummox whose father paid his way into being a teen idol in the sixties with a series of teeny-bopper flicks like AAARRRGGG! and WILD GUITAR. fortunately James Landis felt he would be good as a twisted serial killer.
Somehow his "acting" style works perfectly in this minimalist masterpiece of suspense. A single setting 5 character buried treasure that defies its $3.99 budget, with help from cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond (his first american film).
