Wow! This features what are probably the coolest zombies I've ever seen. They're actually more like ghosts/skeletons, but they drink blood. Wait...that would make them vampires. Well, whatever they are, they are awesome looking. They are the hooded ghosts of satan-worshipping Templars, returned to life after an angry woman jumps from a train and lands right in the middle of their old stomping grounds.

The Templars haunt an old castle or maybe what should be called a haunted campus. It comes complete with a very spooky graveyard, which come to think of it, is probably one of the creepiest ones I've ever seen. The Templars rest in this graveyard until they sense a victim has wandered onto their home turf, at which point they rise up from their graves and pursue. They move awfully slow though, which would seemingly make them easy to get away from. But, they come at their victim in waves and even better, on horseback. You really need to do yourself a favor and check out the effects. These Templar skeletons really look great!

Unfortunately, the human cast is awful. They do incredibly stupid things and aren't the kind of protagonists that you'd normally pull for. In fact, the Spanish version features a slime ball dude who commits a rape. Not good.

This is really 1970's, B-movie stuff. It is slow, slow, slow, and I'm someone who has an attention span not developed while watching Nickelodeon shows and Michael Bay "Transformers" movies. Even I got impatient at times.

I watched both the original Spanish version and the much worse, dubbed English version that was simply titled "The Blind Dead". The ending caught me totally off-guard and was really surprising. I did not expect it and it moved the movie up a tick. This one gets a "Good" rating from me, but only for its creature effects and a pretty stunning conclusion.
