Plot SynopsisBlackly comic horror about an Hell's Angel named Tom (Nicky Henson), the leader of a motorcycle gang called ‘The Living Dead’. With the aid of a frog-worshipping cult, his satanic mother (Beryl Reid) and her shifty butler Shadwell (George Sanders), Tom makes a pact with the devil: willingly committing suicide in the belief that he'll return from the dead as an immortal biker if he remains strong-willed at the moment of death. Soon after his death and subsequent upright burial still straddling his motorbike, Tom wheelies straight back from the grave as an immortal biker with a bad attitude problem. As a result of Tom’s successful reincarnation the rest of the gang begins committing suicide and returning from the dead as the now zombie Living Dead gang – only Tom’s girlfriend Abby (Mary Larkin) refuses to follow his example, incurring the anger of her undead friends. With the gang wreaking havoc throughout the countryside, it’s left to Tom’s mother to stop the mayhem. |
