I mean, come on...George Sanders, biker thugs who return from the dead, and a creepy, wah wah-drenched soundtrack. What's not to like? "Psychomania" isn't the kind of film you overanalyze; it's the kind of film you sit back and enjoy for the simple pleasure it offers. Nicky Henson (Ian Ogilvy's buddy in "The Conqueror Worm") might have been embarrassed about starring in this low-budget scare flick, but he does a very respectable job as Tom, the smirking rebel without a cause who wants to live forever. Beryl Reid plays his enigmatic, oddly passive mother, a medium who wants Tom to stay away from the mysterious room in which his father died. The terrific George Sanders is their butler, Shadwell. He seems fairly harmless at first, but his sinister significance becomes apparent soon enough. Lots of eerie moments and a nice, gloomy, '60s-gone-sour atmosphere. Watch "Psychomania" late at night, all by yourself, with the lights out :)
