The early 1970s are a bottomless treasure trove for fans of “So Bad They’re Good” British horror films. Hammer had by then had its financial rug ripped out from underneath it, and was reduced to making ‘with-it’ low-rent capers like Dracula AD 1972 and Straight on Till Morning.

Psychomania first announced itself to me, like so many marvellous films on BBC2’s much-missed Moviedrome presented by Alex Cox, in 1994. It was a double-bill, paired up with Girl on a Motorcycle, watched through bleary eyes in the midnight stages of a teenage house party.

Robert Hardy gamely plays the detective on their...

It’s what gives them their charm. Most likely, a casserole of disparate ingredients tossed together with scant regard for the f...
