TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD's reputation proceeds the movie itself. I've heard so many good things about it that I had to see it. And I'm glad that I finally saw the two first films. But the hype surrounding these films are much greater than the films themselves. The atmosphere and the climax are excellent but the bulk of the film is quite slow and boring. When the girl leaves the train and walks around the deserted church, it is very long and drawn out. It's beautiful but somewhat pointless. It's more padding than anything else. And the story goes in so many direction (the fishermen...) that it just makes the film seem to stop to a crawl.
But the cinematography is fine and the zombies are well made and the atmosphere is superb. I just wish the story was more focused and there was a bit more action than the startling (but somewhat clunky) climax.
