Movie review - "Satan's Sadists" (1969) **

 A big hit for Al Adamson with its raping bikers, going sleazier than even AIP would go. There is a very interesting cast and some decent music. And the plot is effective low budget stuff - basically people in a diner cross with some bikers led by Russ Tamblyn and the bikers start killing people.

Tamblyn was in his hippy stage now and looks spaced but he's got an impressive, unsettling presence. It's a convincing performance as he goes mad.

Regina Carroll is fun as his moll and there's a lively support cast even though Ken Taylor is so square as the hero (he and a girl are the protagonists I guess). Desert location works.
