Quintessential batty early English horror film which throws in everything but the kitchen sink and is great fun. Nicky Henson leads a gang of bikers who wreck havoc- they include women as well as guys. His mother is an upper class lady who knows how to revive the dead so Nicky gives it a go. Soon all these bikers are killing themselves and coming back to life. Henson's girlfriend has reservations.
Lots of fun stuff - the music score, girl bikers running people over (including if I'm not mistaken a baby), bikers riding into walls, crazy hair cuts, early 70s production design, a fantastic cast having a ball (apart from Henson there's Beryl Reid as mother and George Sanders in his last role as her assisting butler).
For a while this film was considered a joke but it has a cult that has deservedly grown.
