Movie Reviews

Antagony & Ecstasy - 8/10 by Tim BraytonThe chief success of the film is in generating a sustained mood of almost unbearable creepiness.
User Review - 10/10 by Ginose PAmazingly better than the last entry. These films are actually scary (as opposed to most movies, especially nowadays) and, wow, "The Blind Templar Knights"... greatest horror monsters ever.
User Review - 8/10 by Justin BIn this fourth and final installment of Ossorio's Blind Dead series, we are introduced to the principal characters (a young Doctor and his wife) and learn that they have been assigned (by the government, we presume) to be the medical caregivers for a dreary, coastal village where the disgruntled locals are far less than welcoming to the young couple. Soon we are introduced to 'Teddy, the village idiot' (their words, not mine) and his over-the-top 'performance' and facial scowl are so hilarious that you will be distracted by the otherwise highly effective mood. The 'secret' that the villagers are hiding is that they have struck an unholy truce with the blind dead to spare their village's destruction by offering up a virgin sacrifice on 7 consecutive nights (once a year? We are never told). The blind dead knights worship a sea god (that looks a lot like 'Dagon') and it demands blood sacrifices on its altar (where crabs seize the freshly dispatched victims for their undersea lord. The 5 minute crab crawl to the body is a bit ridiculous and another mood killer. As usual, the doctor is too 'educated' to see what is going on at first but his wife suspects sinister things are afoot but gets the 'brush off' until they witness one of the sacrificial girls being led away to certain doom. Once the doctor witnesses the blind Templars first hand (as he foils the villagers plans of offing another vixen'esque teen virgin) he accepts the unscientific truth and makes plans to escape with his wife, housekeeper and poor 'Teddy'; only to witness some of the villagers stealing his car in their mass exodus out of town. I guess the blind dead have some sort of 'human GPS' device because they immediately gallop up to the doctor's house to attack and kill the only living residents left in town. Lots of close calls ensue and 3 of the 4 residents make it away on stolen Templar horses! Unfortunately those evil horses only know one place to go- The Templar castle and now the 2 remaining survivors are lured into 'the lion's den. A fairly unique method of finishing off the Templars is enlisted by the quick thinking doctor and the (now) empty village is saved. No word on whether he put in for a transfer or not. With Hollywood's complete lack of originality lately I hope It doesn't see fit to try to remake any of these 'diamonds in the rough' but if they do, Tom Cruise will probably be the lead actor and Steve Buscemi or Jim Carey will be cast as the 'Igor' type character. All the blind dead and their horses will be CGI.... And I wil be very sad.
User Review - 8/10 by mike pA fine ending to Ossorio's "Blind Dead" series. The undead Templars' back story is reduced to a brief prologue, but this IS the 4th in the series. Well done and nicely creepy.
User Review - 8/10 by R.John XFirst class gothic horror. The final in the Blind Dead series is not the strongest, but it is a worthy addition and a fitting conclusion.
User Review - 8/10 by Jay WAnother worthy addition to the Blind Dead series. An interesting entry with its beach locale, the use of crabs and seagulls, etc. Maintains the same aesthetic as the earlier films, but the first one is still my favorite.
User Review - 8/10 by Sean CI have really liked every Blind Dead movie in the collection. Why hasn't there been more movies made about them? These movies have a surreal aspect to them that I love. It's like when you fall asleep with the TV on, then you wake up all groggy and find what seems to be this really weird movie on the screen. It's just a really surreal kind of feeling that these movies and many exploitation (usually European) movies give me.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UFor my money, the best of the Blind Dead series. SPOILER The idea of the villagers having to make human sacrifices to the Templars was a masterstroke.
User Review - 8/10 by R.C. KAha! A literal translation of title for the final film in what is widely called Amando de Ossorio's "Blind Dead series." Often it is also called the best of the series, or at least the best of the sequels. Well, let's not beat around the bush: I'm inclined to agree. We have some stumbling blocks in this film, admittedly, but fewer than usual. There's a much stronger story this time, with less background to be established for the knights (they're actually a tad bit more mysterious this time, no longer stated to be excommunicated knights who worshipped blah blah etc) by dialogue, we instead see a much clearer flashback. It's familiar, as we inevitably expect at this point, with a topless woman being sacrificed by a group of stern, stoic, silent knights, her heart pulled forcibly from her chest--but this time placed in the stone mouth of an ugly, squat toad-like statue (ooh! shades of Lovecraft!). We also even have a bit of story with the woman sacrificed--she and her husband are moving into a new home and find themselves lost in the fog and far from where they should be when the knights decide to take her for their sacrifice. There is then a scene which involves crabs--this one is set very near the sea--which I was most definitely not expecting and took me a bit by surprise (as much as anything can anymore, anyway). Now we're dealing with Dr. Henry Stein (Victor Petit) and his wife Joan (María Kosty), who are moving into a small fishing village for Stein to take up practice there. They are largely ignored when they first arrive, asking repeatedly for directions to the doctor's house and recieving no response whatsoever. Finally physically impressing himself on someone, Stein is given an answer and they find the old doctor (Javier de Rivera) moving out, telling them quietly not to stay, to move on as soon as possible. Henry walks the doctor to his destination, and Joan finds someone looking in her window--the village idiot, basically (remember Murdo in El ataque de los muertos sin ojos? like that) named Teddy (José Antonio Calvo) who wants shelter from the abusive villagers. He's overacted (as these characters always are) but at least with enough consistency and honesty to overlook it if you aren't a total snob. He seems overly frightened so Joan takes him in, and she and Henry begin their first night when Joan begins to hear singing and chanting, then the sound of seagulls as they try to sleep. "Seagulls? At night?" Henry wonders aloud. We start to get the idea after this, when Joan goes to buy groceries from a local shop, that the villagers are hiding something and do not want outsiders to disturb them, plainly telling Joan she and her husband should leave. A local girl named Lucy (Sandra Mozarowsky) takes pity on Joan and asks for a job as an assistant with her, which Joan agrees to, but almost finds her offer rejected when she asks Lucy about the strange singing custom she and her husband decided was a tradition to bring good fishing hauls. This next night, a girl comes begging for help, but the villagers drag her from the doctor's door, her disappearance pushing the Steins to try to figure out what's going on, and debate whether to simply move out. Atmosphere and acting in this one were a good notch above usual, and the overall composition and editing were stronger than usual, forming a more cohesive, professional whole than the other films. The knights were more fully visible this time, with strong makeup/masks under their hoods, and some effects and such that are new to this mythos (though I maintain there IS no central mythos, especially in light of some endings...). We have stronger, more sympathetic characters (yay! no rape!) with actual good intentions and motivations--before we usually had people looking for friends or self-interested, and often abrasive. Not grating, annoying or UNsympathetic, but more sort of, "Well, it's a human and not a terrible one, I would PREFER if they lived..." Not so, this time. A doctor and his wife who are trying to help a village through his profession and only become angry at their treatment when pressed or when they feel someone is being denied treatment that needs it. Teddy is a little over-the-top, but clearly a child-like intellect and interest in the well-being of others. Lucy works to try and bridge the gap of view and opinion between the village she has grown up in and the strangers who don't understand it. So, a strong little film, and a good way to end the series, though I preferred the endings of La noche del terror ciego and El buque maldito--but this one works very well in its own context.
User Review - 6/10 by BurtonThe best of the series (which honestly isn't saying much) simply because of Lucy, Sandra Mozarowsky, who is impossible to look away from when she's on-screen. Otherwise it's yet another film ignoring the previous three with the blind dead now idolizing a statue that they sacrifice good-looking women to.
