The Odeon... NOW SHOWING

The Sadist

"Never before has a motion picture been rem-packed with as much suspense, terror and sudden shock."

1963s 'The Sadist' is a low budget exploitation feature that has been called an early incarnation of the horror road film cycle that would spawn 'The Hills Have Eyes' and 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'.

Three high school teachers, Ed, Doris, and Carl, are driving through rural Southern California on their way to a Dodgers game in LA. The group’s car has some trouble and they are forced to pull off to a gas station/junkyard on the side of the road. This is never a good idea. You can all imagine where it goes from there.
