Psychomania

A leather gang called The Living Dead, a ring of standing stones known as the Seven Witches, a devil-worshipping mother and a sacred toad. Nicky Henson's biker works out that if you die while truly believing, you come back harder to kill than before, and sets about talking his whole gang into the grave. Don Sharp stages the resurrections deadpan straight, best of all a rider gunning up out of his own graveside while the mourners gape. It welds a folk-horror premise to a rockers-on-bikes picture and holds a completely straight face throughout, which is most of the charm. George Sanders, in his final screen role, presides over the toad-worship with the air of a man mildly amused to find himself there.
