Summary: what the f#ck is up with this
Review: Uhh... I have one question is this the return of the living dead like it states on the list or is it RETURN OF THE BLIND DEAD! now is this a f#ck up or what, are they actualy selling return of the living dead (wich is one of the coolest movies ever made) or is this a typoe and there just selling some other B-movie I would tell some one but I have no damn idea how to do that

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: They're groping their way to a theater near you....
Review: Yes, the Blind Dead are back. And that's not all. In this movie, they managed to recycle almost the entire cast---mauled and dead from the first movie---into different incarnations. All except for the only one I wanted to see again, the girl with the long legs that first fell to the sword-carrying killers in Tombs of the Blind Dead. Additionally, you've got stock footage of the zombie templars riding their horses in the first movie, which they show again and again. All in all, there's not much difference between the movies. The cast is full of idiots that make sure to scream when the templars are near, and then look surprised when they get hacked up. All and all, I'd say that Jason Vorhees, for the money, would put the Blind Dead down. Now that would be a sequel worth watching.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Moody and well filmed
Review: Zombie movies, what's not to like? This one is an underrated classic. Elegantly shot with some great lighting and camera angles. For my mind, the undead Templars, resurrected Occultist murderers who where put to death in real life, are the coolest zombies by far. Yes, even more so than Romero's blue people and Fulci's walking cadavers. Romero's zombies had traces of character. Fulci's zombies looked completely dead. But the Templars themselves have a mummy-like legend and effect. They're ancienct, and rise every night on their own accord. They ride zombie horses, hunt their prey by sound, did I mention they pack swords to make sure people don't get away? Yup, sword wielding zombie knights. Oh yeah, another fine touch; they are completely silent. No silly moaning or staggering around somewhat intoxicated for these bad boys. They stand almost with a prowess. These are the things we fear about most, the classic zombies in a true sense. The way they close in on their cowering victims before biting the hell out of them is pretty chilling.

Must have.
