The fourth and least of the Blind Dead series this is for the most part shoddily directed, scripted and acted. The the performances are flat, some of the dialogue makes no sense, the 'action' non-existent, and the continuity is appalling. In one sequence our heroes flee their house in darkness and are chased along the beach by the Blind Dead in what appears to be broad daylight. And yet De Ossorio still manages to create some atmosphere, particularly in the scenes with the hostile villagers - something of the tension of being an unwanted visitor in a small community has definitely been captured. The Blind Dead look pretty good too, not unlike the Ring Wraiths in Lord of the Rings. Theire familiar slow-motion moving style is quite effective, at least while they're on horseback. However, when they attack the doctor's house in a Straw Dogs/Night of the Living Dead-type sequence they cease to be quite so scary. Overall, I'd suggest you see this only if you've seen the first three, or are a big De Ossorio fan, and then only for sake of completeness.
