Satan's Sadists Audience Reviews

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
internationaldave I say "One of the Best" because I collect "Cheap Biker Movies" and this IS one of the best. The cheaper (as in low budget, minimal plot, horrible acting, etc.) the better. I realize most accidents in the home happen in the bathroom,so take note of the medicine cabinet scene in the diner's restroom. Did you know you can DIE if someone opens a medicine cabinet door in your face? It was a very graphic and horrible scene (notice any tongue-in-cheek, here?) I felt sorry for the Bro who died a terrible and bloody death. Also, these "Bros" can really handle a "Hog" off road. Realistic? Wow! Honestly, this movie keeps me on the edge of my seat every time I break it out and watch it. I have to be on the edge of my seat 'cause my head is in a bucket! Highly recommended movie to watch if you love the best of the worst.
Scott_Mercer ** ACH, CAPTAIN, DA SPOILERS!! ** In spite of what another comment advised, I do prefer Adamson's cheesy horror pics to his action films. There's more fun stuff to look at.However, as a biker film fan, I had to check out this joint. Not much really happens in this film, plotwise. It's pretty much bikers come to town, bikers menace and kill nice people, and everyone battles to the death until the only ones left standing are our hero and heroine, walking into the sunset.This was all filmed in the desert around Palm Springs (Adamson's home until his untimely passing), and frankly, the scenery is very boring and hard to look at. A good bulk of the early film takes place in a lonely roadside cafe. That setting at least gives the bad guys a semi-interesting location and some chance to pick up objects and hit people with them.The last half of the movie involves our hero (ex-Marine from Vietnam)and heroine (plucky local waitress who wants a husband) running around these barren rocky desert canyons that all look the same, ducking into caves trying to avoid "Anchor" the head psycho biker (Russ Tamblyn) and his murderous cohorts. (Isn't this the same place where EEGAH lived?) About the only interesting twist is Regina Carrol's "Thelma and Louise" impression.I guess you could look at this as some sort of allegory for the nation and its torments during the heinous late 1960's, bla, bla, bla, but I don't think so. It's just an excuse for good old action and violence. But how is the action and violence? Good enough. If you're just looking for a sick twisted wild ride into sociopathic torment, this film will satisfy. But it's no lost classic or anything. It's not even the best biker film.
angelsunchained Al Adamson's film is so low-budget and the actors( with a few minor exceptions) are so obscure, that this grade Z biker-flick is brutally realistic. Made during a time of political as well as social conflict, Adamson strives to show the "hopelessness" of an entire generation "lost" as a result of the war in Viet-Nam. Russ Tamblyn's horrifying role as the demented leader of the gang is gut wrenching. It's one of his most brutal and meatiest roles. Gary Kent shines as the hero of the story. And as usual, veteran character actor Scott Brandy gives a sturdy performance. To the naked eye this may simply seem as a "schlock"- drive-in biker- quickie film. But, a deeper study finds a symbolic film with nerve-shattering reality. It's Al Adamson at his finest.
Casey-52 Al Adamson is known for making horrendously bad movies (which I love), mostly biker action flicks or cheesy horror pics. "Satan's Sadists" is a nice departure from the predictably bad premises usually found in biker movies.Adamson's regular cast comes along for the ride (Robert Dix, Russ Tamblyn, Regina Carrol, Gary Kent, Greydon Clark, etc.) and delivers all they can. Unfortunately, Regina Carrol isn't given very much to do and since she's one of my favorite psychotronic actresses, she deserves more. Tamblyn is terrifically sadistic and would continue in a similar role in "Dracula vs. Frankenstein". Kent is a hollow hero (he has a cameo in "Dracula vs. Frankenstein") and Jackie Taylor is an okay heroine. Clark is fantastic as Acid, the pothead biker who wants nothing more than to get stoned. He was ALSO in "Dracula vs. Frankenstein". Dix is Willie, the newest member of the biker gang, and is not too memorable. John "Bud" Cardos is Firewater, the mohawked biker, and he is very good.Adamson fans will appreciate the hard work put into this film, but "outsiders" will consider it boring, cheap, and dated. Instead, I find it highly entertaining, action-packed, and one of the best biker films ever made. Still, take caution. If you've never seen an Adamson film before, this is probably where you should start. If you're only familiar with Adamson's VERY bad horror films, try this on for size. His real talent was in making action films. A sidenote: Jackie Taylor later changed her name to Jacqueline Cole and starred in "Satan's Cheerleaders" and MST3K fan favorite "Angels Revenge/Brigade". She's almost unrecognizable under disgustingly large fake eyelashes, overdone lipstick, and a huge bouffant hairdo, but her unmistakable voice and face is there. IMDB won't accept my information about Jackie Taylor (III) also being Jacqueline Cole, but the fans should know!
