This September, our Young Film Programmers, Fresh Perspectives, have chosen two films to be featured as part of Scalarama Film Festival.Psychomania / 1973 / 1hr&30mins / Rated 15
Everybody dies, don’t they? But some come back… how do the dead come back, mother?
Psychomania is a quintessential example of British B-movie sleaze. Byronic biker gang leader Tom (Nicky Henson) lives in a glam-rock Gothic mansion with his psychic mother (Beryl Reid) and her butler (George Sanders), and yearns to discover the secret of immortality. When he finds it hidden in a locked room in the house, he returns from the dead in a suicidal ritual, and convinces his acolytes to follow his example and form an invincible army of juvenile delinquent motorcyclists. Can the police and Tom’s mother protect the country lanes and suburban streets of Surrey from this undead menace?
With a mixture of folk horror, black humour, flower power and teen melodrama, Psychomania is an utterly bonkers 70s genre flick with an enduring cult following. Have you been initiated yet?
