Psychomania, a review by JimmyMOVIE / DVD INFO: Title: Psychomania Year: 1974 Director: Don Sharp Rating: Unrated Length: 1h26 Video: Widescreen 1.33:1 Audio: English Dolby 2.0 Subtitles: No subtitle Stars: George Sanders - Shadwell Beryl Reid - Mrs. Latham Nicky Henson - Tom Mary Larkin - Abby Roy Holder - Bertram Plot: Motorcycle, violence, the occult and suicide extremes - all in one movie ! Tom is a nihilistic leader of a motorcycle gang who decides to explore just how much chaos he can trigger. With the help of his occultist mother, he finds a way to bring the dead back to life. He and his gang are determined to be the first live test subjects of this theory. They all decide to commit suicide - each biker picking a more bizarre way to die than the last - and wreak havoc in a peaceful pre-punk English countryside when they are resurrected ! Extras: No extra (not even a menu) My Thoughts: This movie like many others in my colection was a blind buy, but 2 things had told me that I've to own this movie : The first phrase of the synopsis and Ann Michelle is in it. This is a good film, but not as good that the plot indicate (normal it's a seventies movie, I can't count how many time a trailer of this period fools me). The basic idea is good, but the results aren't that good. Just one exemple : One of the biker kill himself on a skydiving accident and is body have not a single scratch.Even if it is not perfect this is a movie that I've appreciate. The major problem is the fact that the Geneon release of this film is cut (10 minutes are missing), but I have read that a region 2 edition will be release somewhere in 2008 by the BBC who now owns the international rights. So it will be to buy again if this is a complete version. Finally the print use for the DVD is not so bad, there are some scratch on the picture but nothing dramatic for a budget release of a movie made more than 30 years ago. The sound is corect. Rating : 3/5 (because the movie is cut by 10 minutes) (From My review - unseen and unwatched january marathon on January 12th, 2008) "Due South" marathon, a review by Tom1.01 Free Willie (1994-09-22) Writer: Paul Haggis (Created By), Kathy Slevin (Writer), Paul Haggis (Writer) Director: George Bloomfield Cast: Paul Gross (Constable Benton Fraser), David Marciano (Detective Ray Vecchio), Beau Starr (Lt. Harding Welsh), Daniel Kash (Detective Louis Gardino), Tony Craig (Detective Jack Huey), Catherine Bruhier (Elaine), Christopher Babers (Willie Lambert), Ed Sahely (Hamlin), Christina Cox (Caroline Morgan), Domenic Cuzzocrea (Landlord), Djanet Sears (Public Defender), Elena Kudaba (Celeste), Todd Schroeder (Charles), Matt Birman (Donald), Michael Donaghue (Hugo) A great first episode. All the other regular cast members are introduced, including Ray's beloved 1971 Buick Rivieras which will get blown up a few times. I like the captain, also Elaine who falls for Fraser is fun. A familiar face to me: One of the guest stars (Chistina Cox) starred in "Better than Chocolate", a movie I reviewed recently. Rating: (From "Due South" marathon on June 22nd, 2009) |
