Tombs Of The Blind Dead (1972)

Recap:

So there is this love triangle: Virginia wants Roger, but Roger is after Bella, so Virginia jumps off the train and wants to sleep in the old abandoned abbey. At this point we’re almost half an hour into the movie and so far absolutely nothing has happened. But then, while reading a book, at timestamp 27:50, she flips to the last page to see how the story ends, and you know know that in catholic horror movies no sin goes unpunished. So the graves open up and undead satanist templers emerge, complete with live and healthy horses. The next day, the police asks Roger and Bella for an identification of Virginia’s body, but the attendant at the morgue has had a clown for breakfast and, trying to be funny, presents the wrong corpse. So Virginia later has to rise from the dead and kill him.

All in all this movie is unnecessarily long, and the amount of gore is unnecessarily small, but it has its moments and these temple knights are extremely cool, and the last plot twist is Fun with a capital f. So I say yes to the blind dead. I like it, it is a good movie and it doesn’t even bother me when the dialogue permanently switches between English and Portuguese (or is it Spanish?). I like to believe that the movie was mutilated for the international release and that this is a restored version.
