Britain's finest zombie biker flick returns as the Psychomania Special Edition DVD

Don't know about you, but for me, there just weren't enough zombie biker flicks made in the UK in the 60s or 70s. Just one to be honest - but what a 'one' Psychomania was. Despite its cult pedigree, the movie has never really had the works when it comes to a reissue. All that has changed with Severin producing the Psychomania Special Edition DVD, which is heading your way very soon.

Yes, zombie bikers and black magic and Beryl Reid. A heady mix in anyone's book. Reid is joined by vintage actor George Sanders (in his last role) as a sinister pair with the secret of bringing back the dead. But that power is abused by Tommy and his biker gang, The Living Dead, who willingly killing themselves in return for immortality in England's suburbs. It shouldn't work. But it does.

The Doors: When You’re Strange heads to DVD and Blu-ray

Make a note of this date - 30th August 2010 - that's the date for the DVD and Blu-ray release of The Doors: When You’re Strange.
 
Offering up only original footage from between 1966 and 1971 - unreleased, rarely seen and classic clips - Tom DiCillo's documentary captures the band at their height, with Johnny Depp taking up the narration duties, talking through the band's fame, as well as the drug and alcohol excesses. But that's just the sideshow to the main act - classic sounds Morrison, Manzarek, Krieger and Densmore created in that brief period.

Available to pre-order now, priced from £13.49.
