Tom:
"And another thing. You can only die once. After that, nothing
and nobody can harm you."
Jane: "Oh, man! What are we waiting for?!"
Tom is the leader of a motorcycle gang. And by "gang", I mean 8 dorks with
even dorkier helmets who ride around on a bunch of old rattletrap bikes that
look like they're about to fall apart at any moment. They do randomly
murder some innocent people, so that's a plus. One evening, Tom learns the
secret of immortality and promptly kills himself. Soon, he's back from the
dead and riding around causing mayhem. He convinces his fellow gang
members to kill themselves as well (the suicide montage is the best part of the
movie) and before you can say "I should really watch
CEMETERY MAN
again." they're all (minus the idiot who couldn't even kill himself properly) back
from the dead, driving around wrecking shit.
For an early 70's "horror" movie, PSYCHOMANIA is entertaining in a funny sort of
way. There's definitely nothing even remotely scary about it, but the
music is cool and the silly story moves along quickly enough. Zero tits,
zero gore, zero blood, very little violence, passable acting, a dead
motorcyclist buried in a grave on his motorcycle somehow starts it up and
explodes out of the grave 10 years before LONE WOLF MCQUADE, interesting 70's
fashions, never fully explained zombie strength, fog, lackluster ending.
Not the greatest thing ever, but I don't regret watching it. In some other perfect alternative universe there is a action-packed movie where the motorcycle dorks from PSYCHOMANIA rumble with the motorcycle dorks from SATAN'S SADISTS.
