Psychomania (1973) (1994x14)

Fecha de emisión: Jul 25, 1994

Now another deranged biker movie, this one made in England in 1972. There seems to be a French connection here, as well; because the script is by one Arnaud d'Usseau. Unless of course ‘Arnaud d'Usseau’ is actually a pseudonym. Wasn’t David Hare writing biker movies around this time in order to pay his way through Socialist Realism Polytechnic? I think we should be told. The film stars George Sanders and Beryl Reid, though both appear far too infrequently in my opinion. The bulk of screen time is devoted not to George and Beryl but to a biker gang appropriately named 'The Living Dead’. Appropriately since they are led by a deceased biker who has been buried astride his cycle.
