The dead still ride… the living howl in terror!
Film Synopsis
Psychomania (1973) follows a leather-clad motorcycle gang whose members discover they can return from the dead through an occult ritual tied to belief and willpower. As immortality fuels escalating recklessness and nihilistic thrill-seeking, rebellion mutates into a confrontation with authority, mortality, and consequence. This British cult horror blends youth subculture and supernatural absurdity in a delirious fantasy of death-defying anarchy.
