Tombs Of The Blind Dead (1971)

Synopsis: The scent of a nubile camper awakens the corpses of the ancient order of Templars--a horde of 13th century crusaders blinded and executed for heresy--from their 600-year slumber. Revived and hungry, the sightless zombies rely on their ears to hunt down their victims, and unlike most undead,... The scent of a nubile camper awakens the corpses of the ancient order of Templars--a horde of 13th century crusaders blinded and executed for heresy--from their 600-year slumber. Revived and hungry, the sightless zombies rely on their ears to hunt down their victims, and unlike most undead, who stumble about in slow-moving hordes, the Templars ride horses and even trains in pursuit of the sweet, sweet flesh of the living. In the hands of a lesser filmmaker, this premise would come across as laughable, but Amando de Ossorio effectively creates a chilling, creepy movie. Sequel: RETURN OF THE BLIND DEAD. [More]
