In a remote salvage yard, a trio of stranded motorists must fight for their lives against a pair of vile, desperate psychopaths. This is an effective, disturbing thriller. It's also a bit of a miracle movie, considering who made it / starred in it. Director James Landis is the man responsible for unleashing the inane fluff that is THE NASTY RABBIT. Arch Hall Jr. and Marilyn Manning had appeared together in the dunderheaded EEGAH. Hall Jr. was also in the aforementioned RABBIT. Then, they teamed up to make this astonishing film! Hall Jr. plays the marauding, murdering Charlie Tibbs with crazed, unpredictable glee. Ms. Manning is his merciless accomplice. After witnessing these two in EEGAH, it's incredible to see their transformation into these deadly monsters. THE SADIST is filled with actual tension and danger. Hall Jr. commands every scene he's in, forcing us to both hate and fear him. All things considered, this is a dark near-masterpiece...

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.
