Nicky Henson leads a bike gang called The Living Dead. Cool! His mum Beryl Reid (yes, Beryl Reid) dabbles in the black arts. Groovy! Henson uses her powers to resurrect himself and his gang from the grave. Happening! But his girlfriend doesn't want to follow him into the afterlife. Square! Supposedly a horror film but as my oh-so-subtle comments imply it's far too eager to appeal to a hip and swinging early 70's audience to be at all frightening. Some bits are fun; all the bike chases, Henson revving his machine out of a grave, the series of suicides set to funky music. I'm also immensely glad that people make this kind of picture. But I think I prefer writing 'zombie biker film' more than I do actually watching the things. So: zombie biker film. I'm done.
