The fourth and unfortunately last instalment in the Blind Dead saga marks a return to form after the slack "Ghost Galleon". In this exploitation zombie/vampire movie a young doctor and his wife move to a god forsaken coastal village with very uncooperative townsfolk. The house that the doctor inherits is a real dive and definitely not Blind Dead proof. Soon it becomes apparent that every seven years seven local girls are led to a cliff top to be taken by the evil Templars. The fact that the girls are led up to the cliff by a pack of the ugliest crones imaginable does not help. The new doctor steps in to lend a hand and the usual Blind Dead schenanagans ensue. This is a much better film than "Ghost Galleon" and has some nice tense and gory moments. A good ending marks the end of the series of films, entertaining even when the quality dropped slightly. What is the chance of a remake or even better allow the Templars to ride again in a new instalment? Here's hoping.
