"This week we invite you to travel back with us to yesteryear as we discuss the iconic Blind Dead series. With four films spanning 1971 to 1975, all guided by the singular vision of Amando de Ossorio, it’s a celebration of great atmosphere, terrifying antagonists and audience frustration. At one moment moody and engaging and in the next offensive and plodding, these films offer a glimpse into the early genre offerings of Spain.
Beginning with Tombs of the Blind Dead and proceeding with Return of the Evil Dead, The Ghost Galleon, and Night of the Seagulls (all titles subject to change), the ups and downs provided for some great discussion. Disclaimer: the misogynistic attitudes of the Blind Dead films are not shared by your hosts. Wanton violence, explicit sexuality, slooowwwwwllly moving characters, and a total lack of continuity made for a fun conversation. The re-branding of the original in North America as “Revenge of Planet Ape” to sell as a Planet of the Apes sequel should tell you what you are in for.
So the question is open: classic genre fare deserving of a lasting legacy or disposable Eurotrash? You be the judge.
