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. Amicus were busy infuriating devotees of terrible movies by releasing p...
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. Midnight, or thereabouts is the perfect time of day to properly appreciate a ...
And so Psychomania begins: a dewy mist swirling around standing stones. Gliding in and out of the smoke, silently and in slow motion come The Living Dead. Resplendent in their skull & crossbone crash helmets, The Living Dead are a group of teenage motorcycle enthusiasts. While the titles let us know that legendary Oscar-winning actor George Sanders...
It is after this lysergic mind melt that Beryl Reidunwittingly gives her son the key to life beyond the grave. With her back turned away, she dolefully states, “When you die you’ve got to believe you’re going to come back. You’ve got to believe with all your being.” That, according to the laws which govern the inner logic of Psychomania’s world, is...
Beryl Reid plays the role of Tom’s mother as a sort of bewildered Beryl Reid, and George Sanders is George Sanders. One can only imagine the poignant silences as they sat together in the canteen between takes and took stock of their current situation over a cheese sandwich and thought of better days. Robert Hardy gamely plays the detective on their...
Exploitation films at their most vital, snatch at whatever crumbs of contemporary culture still glow with the embers of potential revenue, and are traditionally slapped together with all the finesse of a toddler’s mud pie. It’s what gives them their charm. Most likely, a casserole of disparate ingredients tossed together with scant regard for the f...

Psychomania... is a collision of mythology and modernism, in which the spirit of rebellious anarchy is both celebrated and ultimately, eerily punished. Full Review | Sep 27, 2016
Psychomania (U.S. title:The Death Wheelers) is a 1973 British outlaw biker horror film directed by Don Sharp, and starring Nicky Henson, Beryl Reid, George Sanders (in his final film), and Robert Hardy.
Dec 14, 2016 · BFI’s Flipside series continues with another excellent release, a completely restored version of Don Sharp’s “zombie biker” film Psychomania (1973), starring George Sanders in his last role, with capable assists from Beryl Reid and Nicky Henson.
Directed by Hammer veteran Don Sharp (The Kiss of the Vampire, The Devil-Ship Pirates) and co-starring Beryl Reid (Dr. Phibes Rises Again) and George Sanders (Village of the Damned), Psychomania is a wonderfully offbeat gem, outlandish and eccentric in equal measure.

Psychomania is littered with delightful moments from the ludicrous exposition laid out by central prick Nicky Henson about the mysterious circumstances of his fathers death, to the charming series of suicide sequences. It is easy to understand its appeal, and the cult following this…
