This fourth and finale movie in the Spanish zombie franchise The Blind Dead is sadly the worst one in a series that progressively got worse and worse from the outset.
My ratings were 8, 6, 4 and now a 3 so maybe it's best that the franchise ended when it did.
I really was blown away by the first film, I simply didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did and gradually became mortified upon realising that this franchise wasn't going to continue with that level of quality.
The first film was original, atmospheric, well paced and genuinely fascinating. Sadly they simply ran out of ideas and it all fell apart.
This fourth movie tells the story of a doctor and his wife who move to a beautiful coastal village only to discover that girls are being sacrificed to the Blind Dead. Though the concept is solid, the delivery falls flat.
You barely see the dead at all, the execution is flacid and it breaks my heart to say it simply isn't very good.
The Blind Dead collection had all the tools to be the stuff of legends but for me will be remembered as squandered potential.
The Good:
Couple of okay ideas
Cast are competent
The Bad:
Novelty is gone
Poorly made
Really quite dull
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
When sacrificing a woman its best to get her boobs out first, because reasons
Dead templars like to give their victims crabs
