Note : The second film in Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead series is largely the same as the first, but with a bigger budget, a slightly better story, and some decent larger set pieces. Some of the actors from the first, like Lone Fleming, José Thelman, and Francisco Sanz, return in smaller unrelated roles, and there's a Jaws-like (but predating Jaws) subplot about a mayor who doesn't want to cancel the local festival. The good news, the blind dead are just as fucking creepy as ever.

In the 13th century, devil worshipping templars are blinded and executed by the local villagers for practicing human sacrifice, but swear revenge. In the present, a village festival celebrates the defeat of the templars, but the village idiot has plans of his own, sacrificing a young woman and spilling her blood on the templars' tombs, which awakens the skeletal blind corpses, and they go on a rampage, starting with whoever happens to be having sex, but soon escalating to just anyone in town. People try to warn the authorities, but everyone assumes everyone else is drunk and ignores them, so things go sideways pretty quickly, leaving a group of survivors barricaded in a church to fend for themselves.

This is a slightly fuzzy and dull remaster, but it's quite watchable. Sadly, there's only the English dub, and no commentary track or anything, but the best parts of this film have no dialogue anyway, except for maybe the screaming.
