ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

jacobjohntaylor1 This is an awful movie. The story line is awful. The acting is awful. The ending is awful. It is not scary. 4.2 is not a good ratting. But this is such an awful movie that 4.2 is overrating it. I give it 1. Do not wast your time. And do not wast your money. Do not see this awful movie. If you want to see something scary see Friday the 13th (1980). Or see A Nightmare on elm street (1984). Or see Halloween. Do not see this movie. King Kong (1933) is also a very scary movie. Son of Kong is also very scary. And King Kong lives is also scary. And Godzilla is also very scary. But not this movie. This is an awful movie. Do not see it. It not scary. It is crap.

Red-Barracuda Horror of the Zombies (aka The Ghost Galleon) is the third instalment in Amando de Ossorio's unique 'Blind Dead' series. This quartet of movies was based around the idea of medieval Knights Templar monks rising back from the dead to cause all manner of perturbation and despair on various Spanish people in the 1970's. It is a series of films that are certainly worthy of note on account of their undead protagonists who are very eerie and interesting creations. They are often understandably referred to as zombies but Ossorio disliked this description which put the Blind Dead in the same category as mindless animated corpses from other films, he preferred to describe them as 'mummies who feed like vampires', which in all honesty is a much better description.This entry in the series is the one which is most closely aligned to a ghost story, with the bulk of its action happening on a 15th century Spanish galleon which mysteriously appears on the ocean encased within a bank of fog. It's an idea repeated later on by John Carpenter in The Fog (1980), a film that is admittedly more successful than this one. The setting is really quite distinctive though and lends a great deal of atmosphere to proceedings and, along with the Blind Dead themselves, certainly constitutes the best aspects of the film as a whole. It has to be admitted though, that the shots of the galleon from a distance do looks totally like what they are, i.e. a small model floating in a tank of water! Thankfully, the sets within the ship are well done though.On the negative side, the film does suffer from weak screenplay. The story-line which has two swimsuit models end up boarding the ship when out at sea working on a publicity stunt for a clothing firm is pretty convoluted and ridiculous. I am sure a more effective idea could have been conceived in getting us to the ghostly galleon surely. Additionally, the pacing is somewhat lethargic too, which doesn't really help matters much. Nevertheless, the Blind Dead characters are still worth seeing when they pitch up and the ghostly setting does add some nice atmosphere. It also has to be mentioned that this one does also benefit from having a really rather original and well executed ending which shows the essential quality of ideas that even the lesser entries in this series have. This one overall is fairly middling on account of its deficiencies but it still offers interesting ideas and moments that make it worth seeing I would say.

ctomvelu1 Dull "Blind Dead"flick set aboard a 16th century galleon, where the corpses of the Knights Templar periodically roam. Some folks from a modeling agency run afoul of the ghost ship in a dense fog, and are picked off one by one. The gals playing the models are definitely hot, and there is a pretty graphic rape scene involving one of them. The walking dead are not particularly scary, and move at a snail's pace, and yet they always seem to catch their prey. A good part of this Spanish made movie is taken up with people talking and walking about. Eventually, I was just waiting for everyone to die. Sadly, the galleon itself is a miniature model and not at all convincing. The plot is similar to "The Fog." Skip it.

DigitalRevenantX7 Plot Synopsis: Sporting goods magnate Howard Tucker sends two models in a speedboat into the Atlantic for a publicity stunt. Contact with the pair is lost, but not before they report being stuck in a fog & coming into contact with a 16th Century galleon. Along with another model, his modelling agent, a henchman & a scientist, Tucker organizes an expedition to find the missing models. They board the galleon where they encounter the blind zombies of the Knights Templar, who were banished to the sea for devil-worship.Film Review: The Ghost Galleon (known in some countries as either Ghost Ship of the Blind Dead or Horror of the Zombies) is the third film in Spanish director Amando De Ossorio's Blind Dead saga. The original film, TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD, was one of the finest zombie films that Spain has ever produced, only matched with the relatively recent effort REC.In keeping with the series' tradition, The Ghost Galleon is less a sequel than an outright remake. As was the case with all the sequels, the rules are changed with each film – here the Knights Templar are devil worshippers who are condemned to sail the seas for eternity.None of the films in the Blind Dead series particularly stand out in terms of script quality, but the writing for The Ghost Galleon is noticeably shoddy. One may get past the idea of a platoon of zombies roaming the seas in a derelict ship, but the idea of a salesman sending a pair of models in a speedboat into the Atlantic shipping lanes for a publicity stunt is ridiculous to say the least – what is the point of this? The models aren't displaying anything & only have a small boat to stay in. Not to mention the fact that the visual effects shown here are ridiculously unconvincing, with the model galleon shown in wide shots being a toy model, while the coffins being thrown overboard look like small Tic-Tac boxes painted brown & being dropped into a pond.The characterisations are, for the most part, decidedly mixed. Jack Taylor & the scientist both switch their opinions as soon as they get on board the galleon – the scientist at first dismisses the idea but later displays remarkable knowledge of the subject & has some practical skills at exorcism. Taylor, on the other hand, has a staunch disbelief of the supernatural that becomes more absurd the longer things go on – even being on the ship, he still doesn't believe it.Despite the poor writing & shonky effects, The Ghost Galleon does manage to entertain, having a modest atmosphere. The shot of the zombies rising from their coffins to the accompaniment of some chanting is undeniably creepy (although the scene might be undermined by the fact that the chanting does tend to sound hysterically funny, especially during the opening credits).
