Here we go again. The Blind Dead return and this time they are holding a coastal village in a grip of terror - demanding a virgin to be chained up on the beach for seven days in a row, every seven years. Why? Don't ask me, and definitely don't ask that nice couple that have just moved in because they've obviously not seen the previous three Blind Dead films. Lucky escape for them when it comes to the third one.
You see the guy is the new doctor in town but the locals don't seem to like him or his wife, right down to plain acting as if they weren't there! The couple find this behaviour rather odd but what I found rather odd was that the new doctor had never checked out the place he and his wife were moving to and instead just turned up one day not knowing anything about the place they were staying in?
What these two quickly find is that the villagers are too scared to stand up to the Blind Dead, and that they might be a bit short of virgins, or is that young ladies? When I think about it I'm not quite sure it was virgins they were after. Why am I overthinking this?
You can guess what happens next. With only the help of the odd villager (the village idiot, some young girl) the couple have to escape the clutches of the slow motion underfed Knights, but unlike the previous film, this one piles on the atmosphere. Right from the start these two unsuspecting victims find themselves right in the middle of strangeness, what with the weird villagers and such like. The pacing is much better too, so you won't get too bored.
One funny bit was when they used the Blind Dead's horses to escape, then acted surprised when the horses just went back to the Blind Dead's castle. What did you expect to happen?
That's enough Blind Dead. This film holds the distinction of having the longest purchased to watched duration of any DVD in my collection. Must be about twelve years!
