Tombs of the Blind Dead

Tombs of the Blind Dead

Directed by Amando de Ossorio

A group of friends revive a group of Satan-worshipping zombies who hunt by sound in the first of Spanish horror auteur Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead films. In the 13th century an order of evil knights sought eternal life by drinking human blood and committing sacrifices. During their execution, crows pecked out each of their eyes. But this wouldn't be a horror movie unless some unsuspecting nudniks stumbled on their tombs and woke them up, leading to a gripping, gruesome chain of events that'll make you wish your own sense of sight wasn't quite so intact.

Starts slowly but picks up steam (no pun intended). I was surprised how much I liked it given it's from 1971. Awesome zombies.

Very cool story, excellent makeup/costume effects, gorgeous setting. Very rare for there to be a zombie film in this era and even more for it to be coming out of Portugal (even partially)! Check out my full review; Rook Reviews on YouTube

Definitely feels like early 70's horror, from the female character treatment to the score to the super odd mortician. The satanic zombies, as they're noted, are pretty awesome. The scenes with them clammering around on horseback are so cool and pretty damn scary to see coming at you.

I am shocked by this movie, as much as some reviews say it's cheesy I actually thought it was kind of serious. Seems to present itself in a real way and it was dark medieval goth horror at it's finest plus it's Spanish. I love all the shots of them on horses and the ending was hilarious. Unnecessary assault scene is only issue but I still really enjoyed the movie.
