Cheryl Eddy io9.com These hungry ghouls hunt their prey at the speed of molasses, and that includes multiple scenes in which they ride slow-motion horses... still, even a shuffling chase can be high-tension. Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Character actions don’t always make sense, but the ghoul designs are top-notch. Rated: 3/4 Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Dolores Quintana Dolores Quintana Overall, it is a film of strangely affecting beauty with a definite Spanish flair that has a certain hypnotic quality to it. Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film If you have an interest in the history of horror cinema, or if you simply enjoy the visual language which would subsequently be adopted by the masters of giallo, this film is a must see. Rated: 4/5 Aug 12, 2021 Full Review M.V. Moorhead Less Hat, Moorhead It gets a little more engaging, I suppose, when the Blind Dead at last get up and around and back in the action. Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof It offers several interesting moments, such as mixing the dead with vampirism. [Full Review in Spanish] Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Jonathan O This is a very different kind of zombie horror film but it's so fascinating to watch a Spanish zombie horror film and spooky atmosphere in the banned area which makes it work for horror and unbelievable gory deaths scene which is quite shocking. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review jeffrey r Atmospheric, with great locations and old-school effects. But the pacing is very slow when your heart beat should be racing... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review andy f Visually stunning but dramatically tiresome. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review júlio a Poxa, esperava tanto desse zumbi com templários, mas foi apenas méhhh, sexpleitation com zumbis mas é meio besta ahahahaha Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The Voice Dub was not very good on this film. It is consider to be Spain's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Templar zombie knights with swords and horses look great. Some cool chanting music to go with that. Some good scenes of suspense. Lesbian desire, sexual violence and the unholy onslaught of the eyeless undead! It is rated PG racing overtones but nothing to wild . In fact this film would have been better served if it ramped up violence. Not a real scary horror. I am loving these seventies eurohorror-flicks! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Good, creepy, midnight horror. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
