This film has it all! Pervy Templar Knights killed for dodgy acts return as the Blind Dead, who unsurprisingly hunt by sound. The best thing is that they can hear their victims' heart beating, so there is no escape. I am not sure whether the Blind Dead are really zombies or vampires, as they tend to suck their victims rather than eat them, but the victims come back to life to continue the good work. The Blind Dead have horses and swords, so they are very hard to escape from, however how they have the strength to ride or hold a sword with their withered, spindly arms is amazing! The film, as well as having some quite nice creepy scenes, has the obligatory 70s lesbian sequence which fits perfectly with the rest of the action. I suppose a film maker can only do his best to please all of his viewers. The Blind Dead are nicely made up, there is some gore, one of the characters, Pedro, has the sweatiest armpits in film history and makes the mistake of taking on a whole army of the Blind Dead with a small knife. The end sequence is really good, as the Zombie/Vampire Knights take on a train full of passengers, and literally suck the life out of them! Very highly recommended to 70s horror fans, but please don't answer any history exam questions with any of the films' plot. I intend to enjoy the next episode in the Blind Dead saga asap.
