REMAKE OR SEQUEL: CURSE OF THE BLIND DEAD
Thanks to Bloody Disgusting we have just discovered the existence of this new film. It is being directed by Raffaele Picchio and main stars are Aaron Stielstra, Alice Zanini, Francesca Pellegrini, Bill Hutchens and Fabio Testi.
This is what it has been written on IMDb concerning this work:
In the Thirteen century, a group of Satan worshipers, the Knight Templars, is captured during a ritual and brutally murdered by the locals. Just before the execution, the Knights swear to return from their graves to haunt the village and the nearby forest. Centuries later, in a post-apocalyptic future, a man and his daughter try to survive against both the Undead Knights and a sect commanded by a mad preacher.
Are we ready for this? Will it be crap… or master tribute…?
Trailer:
I dunno. I’ve got a mixed opinion:
1. It’s good to see the great films of Amando De Ossorio not being forgotten. But…
2. These movies had a certain FEEL to them in the decade in which they were made (1970’s) and the story just doesn’t even look right being done as some futuristic nonsense.
3. The skeletal faces of the original Blind Dead zombies was scarier. these are too… exaggerated (as usual with today’s films).
4. Why was this filmed in English? Oh, I get it – because unlike the originals, the filmmakers here are actually TRYING to push this onto English speaking countries.
