La noche de las gaviotas

NIGHT OF THE SEAGULLS is the fourth and final film in Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead series.

Once again, opening with a flashback to when the Knights Templar were causing trouble while still alive, offering up a human sacrifice. This time it's a bit gorier, and the "crab" scene adds a gross-out factor.

Then, we're brought to modern days, where Dr. Henry Stein (Victor Petit) and his wife Joan (Maria Kosty) have just moved to a new town. Henry is replacing the town's old doctor, who is in a hurry to leave. The Steins have no idea what they've gotten themselves into! Yep, those skeletal Knights are back, and up to no good. Actually, they're pretty scary in this one!

This movie has a more fleshed out story, including a conspiratorial cult thing going on. There's a definite Lovecraft feel to it, especially when we get a look at the Templar's idol. It would be right at home on Cthulhu's knick-knack shelf! SEAGULLS also has a great finale, that just might have been an influence for Sam Raimi's EVIL DEAD. While some people hate it, this movie is the perfect end to the series...
