Psychomania at the BFI

Thanks to our friend Tom Baldwin for alerting us to this:

Spotted that the latest film review in Sideburn, "Psychomania," (one of my long time guilty favourites) has just been remastered for HD DVD, and will be released on the 19th September. To coincide with this, they're showing it at the BFI (British Film Institute)with a Q and A session with the lead actor, Nicky Henson. Find out more at BFI Flipside Psychomania.

Hope it's of interest to you, and perhaps to other Sideburn readers? 
All the best, Tom


READ ABOUT PSYCHOMANIA IN SIDEBURN 25.

Psychomania

Dave Bevan delivers another superb essay on a less-than-superb movie. In Sideburn 24 he discussed Stone, for Sideburn 25 he had turned his attention to British B-movie, Psychotronic.
Acquaint yourself with this biker/amphibian/occult Seventies schlock by buying Sideburn 25 for just £6 plus post. G

Undead upper class bikers are go!

I found a box full of CDs under my desk yesterday. Among a few from the great Jonathan Richman there was a CD copy of the vinyl LP of the Psychomania soundtrack (did you follow that?). The soundtrack is a mixture of chilling background music (if that's possible) and scenes from the film. The film itself is one of a very rare breed, the British biker movie. But it's good, because the bikers are led by an upper class fop who realises he can become undead and tops himself. Read an entertaining review here.
The soundtrack is available (on CD only now) from cult record label Trunk Records.
