Wizard-8 This is the third entry in the Spanish "Blind Dead" series. I thought the first one had its moments, and while I didn't see the second entry, it has to be better than this third entry. It's a really cheap enterprise, for one thing. There are some unbelievably bad special effects, and the galleon set looks pretty flimsy despite the filming in darkness and fog in an attempt to hide the tackiness. But that doesn't sink the movie - what sinks this movie is the fact there is hardly anything that could be considered true horror. In the first hour of the movie, there are only TWO moments that could be considered horrific, and there's not much more in the last half hour. It certainly doesn't help that the characters are thin and shallow, though the dubbing of one character brings a chuckle because the dubber gives the character a voice that at times sounds like the Mr. Burns character on "The Simpsons".
Claudio Carvalho The model Noemi (Bárbara Rey) questions her employer Lillian (Maria Perschy) about her roommate Kathy (Blanca Estrada) that is missing after receiving a call from Lillian, and she tells that she will go to the police. Lilian explains that Kathy is in an afloat boat in the Atlantic with another model participating of a publicity stunt, and she brings Noemi to meet Howard Tucker (Jack Taylor) and his henchman Sergio (Manuel de Blas) that have idealized the advertising campaign. Kathy uses the radio to report that a ghost galleon without crew has arrived and Tucker sends a helicopter to bring the models back; however the pilot does not find them at the location. Tucker contacts Professor Grüber (Carlos Lemos) that studies the Sixteen Century galleon and they use a boat to reach the ghost vessel with Sergio, Lillian and Noemi. Soon Professor Gruber learns that the damned galleon is stranded in another dimension and the crew is composed of excommunicated Templar zombies. Now they try to leave the galleon and return to their own dimension. Will they succeed in their intent?"El Buque Maldito", a.k.a "Horror of the Zombies", is a lame, cheesy, stupid…but also a funny trash movie. I have never seen the other movies of this (unknown) series but the terrible story has an awful screenplay. The miniature boats in the ocean and the models's motorboat stranded in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean are ridiculous. Noemi is an annoying character and I was glad when she was caught by the zombies. But the worst is certainly the dreadful dubbing in English. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): Not Available
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.
beyondthegore Clearly hoping to ride on the momentum of the success of his other two previous Blind Dead movies, Ossorio continues his franchise quickly, releasing 'Ghost Galleon' only one year after 'Return of the Blind Dead'. The result is a movie which, despite having a reasonable concept fails to live up to the standard set by the franchise and one which if I was honest was a bit of a struggle to watch....Overall you can see where this review is going, and if you weren't a fan of the franchise already, this movie is certainly not going to convert you! The only reason it gains any points at all is that the Templar zombies look as ominous as ever and the sets used give the movie a genuinely creepy charm. There is one decent gore scene but overall the pace of the movie moves as slow as the Templars. It's a shame, but thankfully Ossorio didn't leave it there.Read the full review at: beyondthegore
