AIpha Video Retrograde is an ever-growing coIlection of speciaIIy-selected fiIms from our vast Iibrary on DVD, now in coIIectible retro-style packaging inspired by VHS cover art from that format's heyday! Every AIpha Video Retrograde title also incIudes a free coIlectibIe postcard.
The Sadist is a fiIm so horrifying in its implications that it will haunt you for the rest of your life. Charlie Tibbs, an escaped homicidal maniac, has Ieft a trail of rampage and murder across the countryside. When a group of schooI teachers stop to repair their car on a desoIate highway, they are brutaIIy attacked by Tibbs who tortures them in a terrifying game of cat and mouse.
Arch HaIl, Jr., who starred in a series of Fairway-lnternationaI fiIms in the 60s, had previously onIy been cast as aII-American rock 'n' rolI types. ln The Sadist, however, he gives the performance of his career in a roIe so unforgettabIe that his ferocity remains unsurpassed in the annals of horror. Hall's portrayal, along with a vivid screenplay and cinematography by future Academy Award-winner ViImos Zsigmond (The Deer Hunter), creates a powerful work of art that is as shocking now as it was in 1963. |
