Psychomania Zombie Biker Cult Classic BBC documentary

[TheLizardRox]

There's a band from Little Rock, Arkansas called the STDs that have a song called Pschomania that's about this movie, complete with samples. It's actually a really bitchin' song, and they're the reason I heard about this movie in the first place, their singer spoke highly of it. He described it as a psychedelic undead biker flick, and I was sold, ya know?

[Cerulean0987]

I remember this! All I remember is bikers killing themselves to achieve immortality. Wow. I can't believe I found it.

[MrZardoz777]

Great movie, for what it is. I'd team it up with the Monster Club on a double-bill.

[bored1ca]

This movie belongs on a grindhouse all-nighter somewhere - any suggestions what to team it up with? I loved this film by the way...

[DidloDurante]

One thing Sweet does not mention is John Cameron's superb soundtrack.

[DidloDurante]

Wonder if George Romero saw this? There can't be too many films before Dawn Of The Dead that featured bikers causing mayhem in a supermarket.

[fardaypu]

omg! how could any not want to watch this movie! frogs, zombies and musical zomibies

. he realy got it on .. he rode that MAchine likkke a boommmb! this is the next thing im watching tonight. just gonna get a cuppa and some herbal relief and , hang on tight!!!!!!!

[BrightStaroftheDawn]

I spooked me for weeks!! LOL!!



[Syntox]

This movie is BAD ASS. Haven't seen it? RENT IT, you mothers.

[MrNEILSUPERNAUT]

[wildheart0411]

omg....what happened to Nicky Henson...he used to be so hot...

[Keaton2008]

Caught this one on TCM Underground. Compared to some of the other ones I've seen during that segment so far, this one is my favorite. Stupid, mockable, but it was fun and memorable.

[marekerhardt]

I love it. Got it on DVD!

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

This is not a bad movie. It's really good. Great to watch at Halloween

[midianholic]

I love this movie. Camp, cheesy but brilliant.

[wandaslice]

this is a fantastic movie I bought the old VHS from a bargin bin in the early 90s and fell in love ahahha

[brnleague99]

I loved this movie as a kid. I owned it on VHS. Last night it came on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and I still loved it, hokey though it is. And not to mention, the girl who plays Abby is lovely in red dress and black boots.

[morrismagic08]

I recorded this on VHS in the early 90's on BBC 2' It was introduced by Alex cox on a program called 'Moviedrome' witch showed cult classics every week. I still watch them!

[RogerHoare]

George Sanders committed suicide after doing this because his career was on the skids and he must have felt that doing a film like this was the bitter end.

[detroitsapphire]

@RogerHoare

I think it had more to do with his failing mental and physical health, but I guess you're way is more dramatic.

[grinder99er]

The name of the full documentary this is from is "British B-Movies: Truly Madly Cheaply", BBC 2009.

Severin Films will be releasing a Special Edition DVD of "Psychomania" in October 2010.

[IHATEPRINCETON]

this is a great movie i have it still on VHS but i dont have a VCR

[robfergusonjr]

@IHATEPRINCETON OMG! No VCR! What has the world become! Analog rulz.

[TodAG69]

I totally LOVE this movie!!!!!  I have it on DVD AND VHS!!! SO Classic, so cool.

[yorkypudify]

do you have the name of this documentary by any chance?

[MrNEILSUPERNAUT]

i absolutely love this film and am pissed off to hear mnicky hensons comments - STOP SELLING OUT THE FANS, YA FUCKIN' DAFT CUNT.

[ThePragmo]

Thank God Henson saw the light. I would not be proud to do a movie like that one. This movie had a lot of bad effects on me and my brothers cause we watched it when we were too young and did not know what the hell we were putting our minds through. I mean look at that the fact George Sanders commits suicide after doing it. Guys who play very negative characters in movies often have bad ends unless they see the light soon enough like Henson did. You want another example? Heath Ledger after Batman

[MrNEILSUPERNAUT]

@ThePragmo

YOU FUCKING SAD PATHETIC BASTARD.

WHYT DON'T YOU DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND COMMIT SUICIDE YOURSELF?

[ThePragmo]

@MrNEILSUPERNAUT. my thoughts are my thoughts and yours are yours man. that's why all of us are allowed to share our thoughts on this postage. I'll ignore your profanities...

[MrPomdownunder]

I can't stop thinking about Monty Python's "Hells Grannies" sketch.......

[psychodamned]

Great Movie, but this documentary never mentioned half of the best British B horrors Like The Fiend, Girlie etc !!!

[jetbur1417]

Nicky Henson has turned into William Shatner1

[LerafoLuap]

@jetbur1417 Bloody hell, I actually thought it was Shatner!

[BossBass7o7]

@LerafoLuap For a second so did I!

[kosteljanetz]

@jetbur1417 :-D

[BrightStaroftheDawn]

@jetbur1417

William Shatner...LMAO!!

[welshfilmbuff]

Haven't seen this...

Cinemageddon here we come, baby!

[TodAG69]

I absolutely LOVE this movie!!!!!!!!!!!! Its the only movie I & my sister can both agree that is fun to watch

[TwistedSister19]

What a dick. I cannot believe he talked shit on this flick. It was very good.

[airdriver]

Well at the time, it probably was. At least he was being honest. Don Henley of the Eagles has always said that he hated the Eagles Greatest Hit's Volume One album when it was released but its in the top ten selling albums of all time. At least Nick Henson was being honest.

[Ledbeatle94]

This will always be one of my fave films.

[Jndfreaks]

I hate it when the stars have a go at these movies years later. STOP SELLING OUT THE FANS, YOU PRICK!

[WETNWILD85]

Wow,Nicky sure has changed over the years. I just finished watching this 4 the first time on TCM,and it was pretty good. The plot is good,but the ending is crazy. I didn't understand why the bikers turned 2 stone.

[TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, You have to watch the whole movie. The lady made a deal with the devil. Don't you remember the scene where the guy goes into the room and the scene where the lady is holding a baby. The baby was given to the devil in exchange for never eneding exisitence. He then carried out the devil's will. He found that he could kill more people and have a blast dead. I don't understand why he wouldn't give the chick a ride. He had some good cause he loved the girl that didn't wanna die.

[MrNEILSUPERNAUT]

@WETNWILD85

They turned to stone after tom's mum (beryl reid) breaks the satanic bargain and the living dead become not so immortal after all.

[bigboypete]

This is on IFC in the US tonight! I can't wait to see it!!!

[rubinoos1]

I really don't see why Nicky Henson should feel ashamed of starring in this movie. If he were one of the actors in Cannibal Holocaust, then he would definitely have something to be ashamed of. There's nothing wrong with Psychomania!

[misconduckt]

Can't any of you motherfuckers put the goddamn trailer up?

[westnblu]

.40 the undertaker? LOL

[maccagrabme]

Good movie, creepy.

[AdriensenArts]

It's a great comedy!!! it's my fav horror of all time. black humor. weird. crazy. kill yourself, come back, and continue to cause havoc on a small town. Awesome plot! I loved it. I have the vhs tape AND DVD!!!

[DJProjexion]

Anyone have the actual title of the BBC documentary?

[salvadormarley]

Nicky is too hard on himself - it's a cult classic.

[STPfuzzDemon]

A friend saw this and "The Dunwhich Horror" while tripping on acid---he claims he INJECTED it, but I do not buy that part of his story. The Ghoul hosted this at the Magic Bag Theater near Detroit in the early 90's...

[drcancer612]

Nicky Henson is ashamed of being the lead character in the most entertaining movie ever? God! Save the queen.

[LikwidSchitz]

Hahaha-- the guy wearing the speedos, chains himself to a rock, to drown himself; how incredibly British!

[loupdeville]

I love motorcycles, leather, frogs and sticking it to the man!

[whlwtcher]

One of the first "horror" movies I ever watched. I love this movie!!

[kyokogodai]

One of my favorite flicks. Nicky may be ashamed, but I am glad he was in it!

One of the best soundtracks, too!

[phipsi469]

Maximus Leopardus.....the tree climbing variety.

get stoned and watch this fucking movie!!!

[dragonskankin]

fuck aye

[Diabolik771]

This film is classic. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[airliebirddownunder]

Best. Film. EVER.

[STPfuzzDemon]

Ya know you are witnessing greatness when half the people say it is trash and the other half say it is treasure!

[nickdecarlo76]

@STPfuzzDemon I say it's treasured trash. lol

[midianholic]

@nickdecarlo76  Good call.

[nickdecarlo76]

@midianholic Thank you
