Psychomania (1971)

The son of a warlock successfully kills himself and comes back from the dead. He then encourages his friends to do the same. They ride together as one undead biker gang.

I think one of things that really stands out with this movie is the soundtrack. The roving guitar adds an element to the movie that you don't see in other English horrors. You also have a very original story that was played almost wonderfully. And they accomplish the whole film without an once of gore. All pure terror. The acting was great as well. There is much detailed performances.

I really can't find anything negative to say about this movie. Sure it's somewhat slow, but there's a good reason to keep it slow in order to better understand the story. Other then that, it's squeaky clean. A real gem of 70's British Cinema.

This should definitely be in your collection. My only suggestion is that you can get this at anytime. The DVD is totally bare bone. Unless a special edition comes out, I'd say get this at your own pace. Enjoy.

3 stars.
