'Psychomania' (1973) - Don Sharp.
This exhilaratingly psychedelicized motorcycle phantasmagoria is arguably one of the very finest, unrepentantly left field examples of blissfully bizarre, deliciously camp, satanically surrealistic 70s Brit-Horror. Don Sharp's exemplary exploitation horror, 'Psychomania' vividly remains a singularly strange supernaturally-charged cinematic curiosity that has lovingly been given a thorough, wholly deserved MOT by the BFI, thereby effectively turbocharging this latterly neglected late night TV favourite, giving this exceptionally odd, luridly logic defying, Toadally tweaked vintage terror treat a most welcome polish!
Genre Director par excellence, Don ‘Kiss of the Vampire’ Sharp's entertainingly eccentric excursion into the blackened, reality-warping realms of kooky-kitsch, black magic-invoking, grave-dodging, death-dealing 'Ton-up' bikers frequently feels like some deliriously distempered, LSD-laced, fright-packed fever-dream! If you only have time to see one irreligiously revved up, hell-raising, middle-class motorcycle malcontents riding pell-mell across the bucolic British countryside freakshow, then I'm quite sure that you could do far worse than to take a tarmac thrashing terror trip into the fabulously far-out, freewheeling insanity of Don Sharp's Brimstone-blasted 70s zombie biker classic! 'Like Hammer Films on speed,‘Psychomania’ is a pedal-to-the-mental, perversely piston-packed 70s Satanic shocker!'
