Despite the mixed reviews that Nosferatu has received from critics and audiences, there’s no denying the fact that it’s further cemented Rober Eggers’ reputation as a director who fully comprehends visual storytelling. It was a full decade ago when audiences were first made aware of Eggers’ ability to tap into visual presentation and atmospheric tone following the release of The Witch. Taking place in New England in the 1600s, a time period rife with religious piety where the concepts of god, the devil, and paranoia of those who made a pact with the latter of these two deities permeate every aspect of human life. The Witch tapped into folklore and a fear of the unknown that exists at the forefront of the human experience.

The Witch thrives on a combination of folklore and atmosphere not seen since Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead films. Eggers’ narrative utilizes cinematic...

La marca del hombre lobo.Jacinto Molina grew up in Francoist Spain, the son of an extremely successful furrier. As a young boy, he was surrounded by death in the aftermath of the civil war, losing friends and family members, and passing corpses in the streets and fields around Madrid. Two of Molina’s uncles, both collectors who ran in artistic circles, introduced him to a bohemian lifestyle and range of interests. He met famous painters (Jose Gutierréz Solana), writers (Camilo José Cela), and matadors (Manolete); he was entranced by comic books, the movies, and the occult. When, at his elite boarding school, he was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he knew to respond with the respectable aspiration of “architect.” Instead, he would become Paul Naschy.Naschy is now synonymous with a mid-century surge in Gothic Eurohorror that replicated in continental Europe the success of Hammer Films in the UK.

Some of the greatest achievements in the annals of horror aren't the creations of a screenwriter's imagination but come from folklore and historical fact and can be utilized as a subversive means of social commentary. In 1972, Spanish director Amando de Ossorio delved into the legends of the Knights Templar, famous for taking part in the Crusades and later condemned for alleged heresy and participation in black magic. The outcome of this endeavor was Tombs of the Blind Dead, an atmospheric tour de force that spawned three sequels and has since become a beloved treasure among fans of cult European cinema.

De Ossorio's efforts in resurrecting the Templars not only shocked audiences, especially with their specter-like movements, ghastly skeletal appearance, and Gregorian chant-like musical accompaniments, but they also came to represent a subversive display of the political climate that had been prominent in Spain from 1937 to 1975 under the dictatorship of fascist general Fransisco Franco.

Under Paris opens up new possibilities for aquatic horror, blending familiar themes with social commentary on climate change. The unique location of the Seine River sets Under Paris apart from traditional shark movies, creating a fresh and thrilling experience. Lilith, the shark in Under Paris, represents a force of retribution against humanity's destruction of the environment, setting the stage for potential sequels highlighting the importance of conservation.

Steven Spielberg ushered in the era of the summer blockbuster and made us afraid to go into the water when Jaws hit theaters in 1975. Under Paris, now streaming on Netflix, has opened up the doors to the potential of a new shark film universe for a new generation of viewers. The ocean, like space, is a vast abyss of uncharted realms with endless possibilities for world-building, and Under Paris has the capability to establish a new cinematic universe.

Under Paris, while containing many elements from Jaws,...

With the third installment of their Danza Macabra series, the fine, twisted folks at Severin Films shift focus from the boot of Italy to the Iberian peninsula. This collection spotlights four fascinating Spanish examples of the sort of moody gothic filmmaking that Italian directors like Mario Bava and Antonio Margheriti, not to mention Hammer Films in Britain, helped to popularize for international markets.

Rife with reptilian monsters, vampires, zombified Knights Templar, and even a cameo from Frankenstein and his misbegotten creation, these films vary considerably in tone and approach, ranging from rambling shaggy-dog tales to almost esoteric fables. They also differ in how far they’re willing to go with their respective lashings of sex and violence, growing bolder as the restrictions of the Franco regime lifted after the dictator’s passing in 1975.

Writer-director Miguel Madrid’s schizoid Necrophagous, from 1971, divides its time between two principal storylines that barely cohere in the end.

Ship of the Damned opens with a brief prologue set on board a pirate ship in 1622. As the ship sails through a storm, the crew prepare for dinner. Which for them means rather tamely hacking a bound woman to death and eating her raw flesh. In the present, Elena has her martial arts training interrupted by a phone call from her ex, Michael. He hasn’t taken the breakup well and keeps finding reasons to call her, but this time it’s legit, even if it doesn’t sound like it.

The Coast Guard have found what appears to be a seventeenth-century sailing ship drifting off the coast and towed it into port. Since she’s an expert in such things, he’d like her to come down and be part of the investigation.

“Lovecraftian Horror” has been on an upswing in recent years and with that upswing comes many a conversation on what exactly constitutes a horror tale being classified as truly “Lovecraftian.”

I don’t have anything unique or insightful to add to that discourse, but I feel like I know a Lovecraftian tale when I see it – and the fourth and final film in Amando de Ossorio’s The Blind Dead series, Night of the Seagulls, fits the mold.

The Blind Dead films sit comfortably in the cult favorite category. Not quite zombies, but definitely undead, the blind and ghoulish Knights Templar make for legitimately unnerving villains. They were brutal and monstrous in life, and carry that with them in death as they quest to consume the blood of their victims. Like I said, not quite zombies, but more like vampiric mummy-ghouls.

The M.O. for the Templars mostly remains the...

"Don’T Move! Don’T Breathe! Don’T Make A Sound! They’Re Coming!" Just in time for Halloween, Synapse Films will be releasing its 2-disc Tombs of the Blind DeadBlu-ray on October 24th!

Amando de Ossorio’s unique 1971 Spanish shocker Tombs of the Blind Dead was an international horror hit that spawned three sequels and countless imitations. Now, over 50 years after its debut, Synapse Films is proud to bring this Spanish horror classic back from the grave in a brand new restoration with killer extras that would wake the dead!

The first of four official films in the series, it begins with a trio of friends getting together for a camping trip that quickly turns into blood curdling horror as a legion of long-dead Knights Templar rise from their graves in search of human flesh! When the Templars were originally executed for their cannibalistic rituals, they were hanged outside...

Synapse Films has detailed its upcoming of Amando de Ossorio's genre film Tombs of the Blind Dead (a.k.a. "La noche del terror ciego") from 1972 starring Lone Fleming, César Burner, María Elena Arpón, José Thelman, and Rufino Inglés.

The three-disc set (2Blu-ray/CD) is expected to arrive on the market later this year.

Synopsis:

In the 13th century there existed a legion of evil knights known as the Templars, who quested for eternal life by drinking human blood and committing sacrifices. Executed for their unholy deeds, the Templars bodies were left out for the crows to peck out their eyes. Now, in modern day Portugal, a group of people stumble on the Templars abandoned monastery, reviving t...

Remember how scary the monsters in The Quiet Place were? Me neither, but the idea of monsters that can’t see you but can hear you didn’t start there. The eyeless, bearded mummy-knights in Tombs Of The Blind Dead (1972) may not have originated the concept either but they are infinitely more terrifying than the creatures of The Quiet Place. Tombs Of The Blind Dead is a 1972 Spanish film from director Amando de Ossorio that resulted in three sequels (all...

When Amando de Ossorio made Tombs of the Blind Dead (La noche del terror ciego) he had been active in the Spanish film industry as a writer and director since the early 1950s, mostly working on Westerns. After having a minor hit with the 1969 vampire film, Fangs of the Living Dead he decided to follow it up with another horror film. The result spawned three sequels and secured the director’s place in genre history.

Synapse Films have recently restored Tombs of the Blind Dead for an upcoming Blu-ray release and that print premiered as part of this year’s Fantasia film festival. As a long time fan of the entire Blind Dead franchise, I was curious to see how it compared to previous releases.

Virginia is in Lisbon...

Made in the wake of Night Of The Living Dead but before the craze for horror films that dominated European cinema for much of the Seventies, Amando de Ossorio's vividly realised tale of terror would prove hugely influential. It has recently ben restored by Synapse Films and it screened as part of the 2021 Fantasia International Film Festival in all its original glory. Though aspects of its story stretch credulity even within the bounds of fantasy and it is at times spectacularly silly, it is delivered with rare style and panache. There is much here to admire and to tremble at.

The story hinges on three twentysomethings who decide to take a trip together. Virginia (Maria Elena Arpon) and Roger (Cesar Burner) are best friends. Betty (Lone Fleming) is Virginia's former boarding school roommate, whom they chance upon at a swimming pool. Sparks start to fly immediately between Betty and.

If you’re of a certain age the term “Blind Dead” will probably mean nothing to you, but for those of use who grew up in the 80s and lived through the pre-certification era of the UK genre scene – and to a lesser extent lived through those early 90s days of The Darkside magazine referencing Euro-horror aplenty, then the term Blind Dead conjures up a myriad things: atmospheric horror, zombies and some of the creepiest poster art to name a few. So when it was announced that another “Blind Dead” movie was set for release I couldn’t help but get a little excited…

Here’s a title for you: Demon Witch Child (1975). This is the kind of title that conjures up images of crucifixes, and vomit, and crises of faith; a title that demands you confront your own relationship with the spiritual and contextualize your role in existence.

This is not that film.

Released in March in its native Spain, Demon Witch Child (a Rob Zombie song title if I’ve ever heard one) didn’t haunt Stateside drive-ins until May of the following year. Pay no heed to the critics, who immediately dismissed this as another The Exorcist rip off; instead, Demon Witch Child (aka La endemoniada and The Possessed) picks some of the strangest angles to come at that revered material from - so much so that it ends up doing its own thing in peculiar and fun ways.

Fear is the universal language. Terror is, as we have sadly seen so often, a global phenomenon. And monsters inhabit every crevice of this small world, from the deepest recesses of the South Pacific to the most remote peaks of the North Pole. So it should hardly be a surprise that horror films are and have been a component of cinema in just about every country that embraced the art form. Along with love, fear is the most profound human emotion, and any art — especially filmmaking — is the way in which we express those feelings to the rest of the world.

While the U.S., Canada and the U.K. (along with other primarily English-language nations like Australia and New Zealand) have produced healthy shares of the world’s catalog of horror movies, there is a vast, deep, diverse library of genre output that...

My Friend Dahmer also arrives on both formats this Tuesday, and The Dark Crystal is getting a 4K Anniversary Edition release that fans will undoubtedly want to pick up as well.

Other notable Blu-ray and DVD titles for March 6th include Thor: Ragnarok, Fangs of the Living Dead, The Crossbreed, Curse of the Mayans, Knights of the Damned, and the House on the Edge of the Park/Last House on Massacre Street (aka The Bride) double feature from Kino Lorber.

Tombs of the Blind Dead Synopsis

In 1971, director Amando de Ossorio created what horror fans worldwide consider to be Spain’s Night Of The Living Dead.

Story by Garth Ennis | Script & Art by Mike Wolfer | Published by Avatar Press | Distributed by Titan Books | Format: Paperback, 176pp

Garth Ennis, creator of one of my favourite comics of all time, The Boys, and the gloriously Ott ultra-violent horror comic Crossed, is back once again with another slice of horror fiction with Stitched.

Based on a story (and the original short film) by Ennis and scripted/illustrated by Mike Wolfer, whose work at Avatar has included the Night of the Living Dead and Escape of the Living Dead comics (both of which were pretty awesome – filled by blood, boobs and gore), Stitched is the story of a group of American and British soldiers trapped behind enemy lines in the Taliban controlled mountains of Afghanistan. With no food, water or supplies, the group discover that there’s much more to worry about than insurgents, as an ancient evil brings the shambling dead to life.

Oh the horror I experienced watching Horror of the Zombies though not as bad as I expected it to be. This movie is similar to other movies released around this time. The movie is commonly known under the name “Blind Dead.” It has also been released under the title “The Ghost Galleon” and in Spain under its original title “El buque maldito.” The other Blind Dead movies are seemingly better as this one has 1970s cheesiness woven into it.

"When I become death, death is the seed from which I grow."

Not to be morbid or anything, but the shadow of mortality has been a dominant theme of nearly all the best stuff I've seen so far at the 48th Vienna International Film Festival (Viennale for short), most inescapably in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Palme d'Or winner Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (Loong Boonmee raleuk chat), which clicked with me more than most "Joe" efforts, I suspect, mainly because of its surprisingly prominent horror-movie touches.

Certain spooky scenes involving ape-like jungle "beings" with bright red eyes recall "lowbrow" antecedents like John Carpenter's The Fog (1980), Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead quartet (1971-5) and Eugenio Martín's Horror Express (1972), not to mention the more nightmarish alternate-realities of David Lynch - though Apichatpong has...
