The 1970s gave us a series of horror movies featuring the Blind Dead, a
group of undead Knights Templar who return from beyond the grave to wreak
havoc in contemporary Spain.
Director Raffaele Picchio has resurrected the iconic Iberian antagonists
with Curse of the Blind Dead. This one is set in a post-apocalyptic future where the Blind Dead
return to take their revenge against the descendants of the villagers who
executed them back in the 14th century. The film stars Aaron Stielstra, Alice Zanini, Francesca Pellegrini and
Bill Hutchens.
Curse of the Blind Dead is on US DVD and Digital from March
2nd. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
In the 14th century, a group of Satan worshipers, the Knights Templar, are captured during a ritual and brutally murdered by the locals. Just before the execution, the Knights swear to return to haunt the village and the nearby forest. Centuries later, in a post-apocalyptic future, a man and his daughter try to survive against both the Undead Knights and a sect commanded by a mad preacher.
