Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Michael_Elliott Night of the Seagulls (1975)*** (out of 4) The fourth and final film in the series has Dr. Stein (Victor Petit) and his wife Joan (Maria Kosti) coming to a small fishing village and being turned away by the locals who don't want them there. It turns out that every seven years for seven straight days, the Templar knights return from the grave and the locals must sacrifice women to them.NIGHT OF THE SEAGULLS is one of the most entertaining entries in the series, which is pretty amazing and especially when you consider how awful the third movie was. It's clear that director Amando de Ossorio wanted to make good for that film because this one here gives you a pretty good story, some nice gory special effects and characters that you actually like. Technically speaking this isn't quite as impressive as the first one but it's still very good.I think the best thing going for this movie is once again the Templar knights. I've always loved the actual look of the monsters and once again they really deliver. I love their decaying faces and this film also gives you a lot of great gore including an ending that I'm not going to ruin but it packs a great little punch. The atmosphere that was so thick in the first two isn't quite as memorable here but I thought the director did a very good job at building up the mindset of this small town and their fears.Fans of the Blind Dead series often call this a good comeback but it's much more than that. In fact, I'd argue that NIGHT OF THE SEAGULLS is underrated in regards to how it is looked at not only in the series but in its place in Spanish horror.
gavin6942 The Knight Templars return in this fourth installment of the Blind Dead series. On this outing, the Templars haunt a fishing village, where they rise seven nights every seven years to claim their sacrificial offerings in return for the safety of the townspeople.Maybe this was not such a wise choice given that I don't believe I've seen the other three Blind Dead films, and really haven't seen much from Amando de Ossorio... so my frame of reference is definitely off. But it didn't seem to ruin the plot.I actually really like the mix of modern and medieval. Not only the two time periods, but even when the modern time is shown, the city still has a very old look to it. This seems to be something Spanish and Greek horror films do well, using the countries' old buildings as part of their set.Unfortunately, the film quality was terrible, but this may have just been the version I watched (which had Russian subtitles, too).
ma-cortes Fourth and enjoyable sequel of the Templars dead series . The blind dead Templars return again from the 13th century with this eerie story . The film starts when a couple formed by a doctor ( Victor Petit ) and his wife ( Maria Kosti ) go to a coastal small community where are unfriendly received . Only the village's dumb ( Jose Calvo ) and a young orphan ( Sandra Mozarowsky ) make acquaintance with them . They aware that for seven nights every seven years, the villagers have to sacrifice their virgin daughters to these eyeless dead during a nocturnal ceremony on the beach . Then the priests warriors wake up from the tomb worshipping a strange idol and begin their criminal rampage . Ancient Zombies return of graves causing wreak havoc on the village , horrifying and torturing the rural population . They make a brutal massacre in the little village and the protagonists are surrounded in a house . Meanwhile the starring attempts to save the damsel in disgrace . This third following ,the first sequel was ¨Return of evil dead¨ , from the original ¨Tombs the blind dead¨ also we find the famous blind dead zombies which rise from the tombs 500 years after to wreak havoc upon some beautiful Euro-babes . The zombie-like pack of ancient warriors priest awake and rising from the graves to kill and torture the unfortunate victims . They were condemned and eternally dammed by cult practicing human sacrifices and blinded by crows. They encounter their victims by means of screams and sounds. This is a cheap Spaniard production with lack luster and low budge t. Special effects are ridiculous and embarrassing, absurd and frankly lousy . In the film appears known Spanishtrash actresses as Sandra Mozarowski, Susana Estrada , Julia Saly and Maria Kosti .This atmospheric horror movie contains scary scenes when appear the living dead Templars . It's the third following of the first great success and immensely popular ¨Tombs of the Blind dead¨ which to be continued by a trilogy : Return of evil dead, Ship of Zombies or Blind dead 2 and this one also titled Blid dead 3 or The night of the sea gulls . The Zombi-like are blinded by crows but they made human sacrifices and were executed and the clergymen return eventually to the life . Good exteriors filmed on seaside outdoors as Tossa De Mar and Ampurias, Girona and interior set in Talamana del Jarama (Madrid) , location in which during the 60s and 70s were filmed several Spanish terror movies . Creepy and frightening music especially when the dead attack is well composed by Anton Garcia Abril, author of the four eerie soundtracks . This lack budget film is regularly directed by Amando De Ossorio but is amusing and entertaining . This is a mediocre attempt to cash of following exhausted medieval warriors saga.
BA_Harrison A young doctor, Henry Stein (Víctor Petit), and his pretty wife Joan (María Kosty) travel to a remote coastal area to take up residence in a rustic cottage, unaware that a nearby village is being terrorised by zombie Templar knights, who crawl from their tombs every seven years to claim seven female sacrifices over seven successive nights.The fourth of Amando de Ossorio's blind dead movies, Night of the Seagulls, is perhaps the weakest of the series, suffering from a slow-as-molasses pace, a lack of exploitative content (only two pairs of breasts and very little gore), and a general over-familiarity with the material. Offering very little in the way of new ideas, the film dawdles from one uninspired scene to the next (and in the case of the drawn out 'crab' scenes, almost grinds to a halt) until the disappointing finalé which sees the Stein's escaping an unexciting 'Night of the Living Dead' style siege at their home, destroying the knights soon after by smashing a statue in their castle lair (it's so easy when you know how!).This lacklustre effort was, unsurprisingly, the last of de Ossorio's films to feature his skeletal Templar zombies, although Euro hack Jess Franco would revive them for one final appearance in Mansion of the Living Dead.
