Curious about the film since reading an article about it in The Dark Side magazine a few months ago,I was pleased to recently get hold of the flick on DVD,which led to me experiencing psychomania.
View on the film:
Visibly looking frail, George Sanders still gives the title his unique touch of class as seance-loving Shadwell, whilst June Brown, Robert Hardy, Bill Pertwee and Beryl Reid fill the streets as the nervous locals surrounded by the wheelie-performing psycho bikers.
Powered up by John Cameron's tasty Prog Rock Funk fusion score, director Don Sharp & fellow Hammer Horror regular/ Dr No (1962-also reviewed) cinematographer Ted Moore pedal a wonderfully odd kitsch atmosphere of sawed-off panning shots and crashing-zooms smashing the snarling bikers into supermarkets painting the quiet village blood red with practical special effects bringing lead biker Tom back to life and driving through groovy Art Deco designed walls like a psychomania.
