The Blind Dead

También llamado: La noche del terror ciego

The Blind Dead are the Knights Templar revenants of four Spanish films by Amando de Ossorio. Eyeless, they track prey by heartbeat in an abandoned medieval town on the Portuguese border. Peter Dendle credits the first film with a fresh mythology and unforgettable zombies.1
