The Sadist

Written and directed by James Landis, this thriller loosely follows the story of the killing spree of Charles Starkweather (later films Badlands, 1973, and Natural Born Killers, 1994, were also based on Starkweather's tale). Starring Arch Hall, Jr. The Sadist begins with three high school teachers driving through California. Unfortunately, their car breaks down in an abandoned area, where they experience a run in with a bloodthirsty sadist and his girlfriend.
