500 years after they were blinded and executed for committing human sacrifices, a band of Templar knights returns from the grave to terrorize a rural Portuguese village during it's centennial celebration. Being blind, the Templars find their victims through sound, usually the screams of their victims. Taking refuge in a deserted cathedral, a small group of people must find a way to escape from the creatures. —Jeremy Lunt <durlinlunt@acadia.net>

Trivia
The English-dubbed version of this movie, Return of the Evil Dead, popularized the use of the generic term "evil dead" to refer to malevolent undead.

Goofs
throughout the movie the day changes from a night to day multiple times.

Alternate versions
The Anchor Bay version claims to be uncut, however it is actually missing quite a bit of footage. Most of the gore has been cut out, along with a few other minor scenes. Here is a complete list of the missing footage:
During the opening flashback, all shots of the knife plunging into the woman's chest have been removed, as well as the shots of the Templars removing her heart.
There is a brief line of dialogue from one of the Templar Knights missing just before he is blinded by the villagers.
A shot of a woman, tied and gagged in the trunk of a car, has been cut from during the fireworks display.
A complete sequence has been cut in which the woman from the previous shot is tied to a wall by Murdo the village idiot and stabbed between the breasts. This particular cut makes it unclear why the Templars suddenly return from the grave. In the uncut version, this scene establishes that Murdo has deliberately summoned the Templars by offering a human sacrifice.
A single shot of blood dripping down a telephone and onto the floor has been removed.
Two close-up shots have been removed which show Bert's stomach being punctured by swords, along with an intervening shot of the Mayor watching from a nearby window.
The scene where the little girl leaves a room and encounters the Mayor (just before he leads her outside) has been cut.
Various close-ups of swords entering the Mayor's body have been removed.
A single close-up of a sword penetrating Amalia's stomach has been cut.
A single shot of blood spurting from Murdo's neck after he has been beheaded has been removed.
Just before the camera pans down to reveal that Howard has fallen onto a spear, a few shots of his face have been removed.
A single shot of the village square has been cut, just before Vivian, Jack, and Nancy leave the church.
The end credits have been considerably shortened.

The Blind Dead Rule Again

Return of the Blind Dead aka The Return of the Evil Dead aka El ataque de los muertos sin ojos is a solid sequel to the first movie (Tombs of the Blind Dead, 1972). The dead Knights Templar walk again and crave for tender flesh and blood. The living scream and die - one of those fine pieces of oldschool horror that are spiced up with some trash and nudity, and are free from the slightes hint of p.c.-correctness. Yummy.
