The last of the Blind Dead films features an absence of the scares the first two provided, but makes up for this with atmosphere by the bucketful. It is creepy as all hell, and dreamlike. A great many Euro- horror films are called such, but this is generally just a polite way of saying they are languid, boring or make no sense - see films from Fulci's mid-career, and some of Jean Rollin's early work for examples of this. Such is not the case with "Night of the Seagulls".
In this Blind Dead offering, a seaside township has struck a bargain of sorts with the sightless spectres that prey on them: they will leave an offering of a young virgin girl (who else?) whenever the Blind Dead leave their tombs. This nefarious arrangement is threatened by the arrival of a doctor and his young wife, who immediately find the township strange and threatening. Only an "idiot", the village fool, reminiscent of the monobrow-having man in Return of the Evil Dead, is willing to help them.
The last Blind Dead film opens with a shockingly violent scene as a girl's still beating heart is ripped from her chest. There is little violence afterwards however. There are some glimpses of bare breasts also, but nothing compared to the generally sleazy nature of Spanish horror ala Naschy and Franco.
Overall, fans of atmospheric horror owe it to themselves to check this movie out.
