Psychomania/The Death Wheelers/The Rattlers (1973)

- written August 11th, 2011

Summary: A gang of young people call themselves the Living Dead. They terrorize the population from their small town. After an agreement with the devil, if they kill themselves firmly believing in it, they will survive and gain eternal life. Following their leader, they commit suicide one after the other, but things don't necessarily turn out as expected.           Overall: Although I liked the premise…the film was much more theoretical and talky then I w as expecting. Sure we have biker stunts and biker mayhem but the film is a lot about death and theories and such. Sort of a unique niche in the 70’s horror genre.           Comparison: Easy Rider meets Dawn of the Dead
