Horror of the Zombies can now hold its head up high and forever cast away the shackles of being regarded as the worse Blind Dead movie.
Heck even 2009's Graveyard of the Dead/Erotic Nights of the Blind Dead felt more in keeping with the original series than this abysmal Walking Dead wannabe. The Knights Templar take forever to show up (sidelined in favour of uninteresting characters bickering amongst themselves) then when they do almost everything about their 'look' has been altered from the De Ossorio originals ('natch not for the better). They are also largely written out of the last ten minutes of the film, taking a backseat to what is obviously an attempt at building a franchise and setting up further sequels. It seems not even the blind dead are immune from the curse of 2020.
Due out on UK DVD next month (you have been warned) as 'The Curse of the Knight Templar'. They seem to be dropping the whole 'blind dead' angle for the UK, in favour of selling it as a historic adventure to the Games of Thrones crowd ...ignoring the small matter of this being a post-Apocalyptic movie!!
