Overview

This is the fourth and final chapter in Armando de Ossorio's creepy Blind Dead series, which centers on the horrific legacy of the Templars, a medieval sect of occult-practicing Spanish knights, executed for heresy, who subsequently return as eyeless ghouls to claim symbolic revenge on the living. This installment finds the zombified knights exerting their horrific influence over the population of a small Mediterranean fishing village, where they arise every seven years to claim nightly sacrifices. When a newly arrived doctor discovers that his wife has been chosen as the next victim, he makes a desperate attempt to destroy the Templars, whose arrival is mysteriously linked to the stone idol which guards their tombs. Though definitely not the strongest film in de Ossorio's saga, it still features an abundance of eerie atmosphere, thanks to some effective lighting and the Templars' creepy trademark theme music comprised of echoing Gregorian chants. Also known as Night of the Death Cult.

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide
Director Amando De Ossorio's final installment in the four-part Blind Dead series marks a significant improvement over the previous two sequels Return of the Blind Dead and El Buque Maldito. It has the usual low-budget shortcomings, recycled footage, and badly dubbed soundtrack, but De Ossorio manages to back up the film's eerie, atmospheric look with a compelling script that has strong characters for once and an intriguing story about a seaside town held in the grip of the Templar curse. The curious title, Night of the Seagulls, refers to the many birds that fly at night over the village. As one character explains, the gulls are the souls of the young women who the townsfolk have offered as sacrifices to the Templars. The lone negative to the story is the ending which proves to be anti-climactic considering how much more ferocious the zombies attack in this picture than in the previous films. The gory special makeup effects are minimal, but effective with the highlights coming at the beginning (a heart is torn from a woman's chest) and the end (a skeletal knight lays prone with blood pouring from its empty eye sockets). Two of the technical elements common to all of the Blind Dead films, the echoey, slow-motion attack sequences and the chanting score by Antón Garcia Abril, once again prove crucial to this film's scary atmosphere.
