Tombs of the Blind Dead
“Makes "Night of the Living Dead" Look Like a Kids' Pajama Party!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 51, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A ruined monastery turns a holiday into an encounter with undead knights who hunt by sound. The slow, eerie riders are the attraction here, rather than constant jokes. Choose it for a patient horror crowd: the human drama is rougher, and some exploitation violence is unpleasant.
