The Devil's Cross

Obscure, strangely hard to find Spanish mid seventies movie that has been described as the unofficial fifth Blind Dead. This would be over egging things because although this solid and well made film alludes to the Templars and promises us a reprise of the zombie horsemen, in that respect this is a bit of a let down. It is a similar tale to that of the Amando de Ossorio films but despite a fine cast and decent dialogue, this is a bit too 'talky' and although we see a dream sequence of the horsemen tormenting a girl early on, it is brief and bloodless. Indeed the whole film is rather lacking in bite and the limited action half hearted. Its a shame because with everyone working so hard and the film looking so good, this could so easily have been really good.
