Product description
In this second startling film in the BLIND DEAD series, writer/director Amando de Ossorio returns to the horrific origin of the depraved Templar: heretic knights whose eyes were burned out by medieval vigilantes to prevent them from finding their way back from Hell. Now on the 500th anniversary of their execution, the blind horsemen rise from their tombs to wreak bloody revenge on the town that condemned them. Tony Kendall (WHEN THE SCREAMING STOPS), Frank Brana (PIECES) and Lone Fleming (TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD) star in this chilling sequel that rocked the EuroHorror genre! This Definitive Edition of RETURN OF THE EVIL DEAD contains both the original English Version and the uncensored Spanish Version, both fully restored from original vault materials and remastered in heart-stopping High Definition. Bonus features include: Theatrical Trailers, Poster & Still Gallery

En 1971, Amando de Ossorio sort "La révolte des morts vivants" qui est son premier long-métrage consacré aux templiers aveugles.
Suivront en 1973, ce film, intitulé en France "Le retour des morts vivants", puis en 1974, "Le monde des morts vivants (The ghost Galleon) et enfin le meilleur à mon avis, " La chevauchée des morts vivants" (Night of the seagulls) que je possède également.
Ces 4 films cultes n'ont jamais fait l'objet d'une édition DVD en France.
Artus films devrait se pencher sur la question.
A mon avis, les quatre long-métrages peuvent se regarder indépendamment les uns des autres.
"Return of the evil dead" commence par une séquence nous montrant les templiers se livrer à un sacrifice humain.
Cela se déroule, il y a 500 ans.
Les villageois capturent les templiers et les brulent sur des bûchers après leur avoir abimés les yeux.
Retour à notre époque où les templiers morts-vivants et aveugles viennent se venger dans le même village et ce grâce à un habitant de la bourgade qui sacrifie une jeune femme dans le cimetière où reposent les chevaliers.
Ces derniers retrouvent leurs chevaux, morts vivants également, et terrorisent la petite ville.
Malgré des défauts, (nous sommes en 1973), ce film se regarde avec plaisir et la seule vue des templiers chevauchant leurs montures au ralenti donne au long-métrage un côté magique et réellement fascinant.
Ces films furent tournés au Portugal car ce n'était pas évident de le faire dans l'Espagne de Franco.
Personnellement, j'adore cette tétralogie avec une petite préférence pour le dernier "Night of the seagulls" pour qui j'avais donné un commentaire, il y a plusieurs années.
Le DVD est en Espagnol avec des sous titres Anglais, mais rassurez vous, on arrive bien à suivre l'histoire.
Le son et l'image sont correctes.
Je le conseille bien évidemment aux amateurs.

My favorite scenes of the first movie continue, especially the very slow rising from the graves.
The series isn't scary but is a very good exercise in low-budget atmosphere with just the right pacing to keep your attention. Not to mention where people do the stupidest things that practically invite....difficulties.
Highly recommended for connoisseurs of Spanish / European horror

The second chapter of the series is more of a "Night of the Living Dead" clone with a group of people getting ensconced in a small area with seemingly no way to escape and impending doom knocking at the door. Certainly, RotED doesn't live up the the Romero classic, but moves briskly through the motions, features a number of violent set pieces and, at times, recaptures the haunting atmosphere of its predecessor. And that doesn't take into account the gleefully sleazy bits like the mayor tricking a child into becoming live bait for an escape AFTER he already sent the child's father to a similar fate.
While not my favorite of the series (that would be the fourth and final film), the second film rectifies some of the errors made by the original and manages to be a more entertaining if less individualistic piece of film. Do yourself a favor and watch the whole series this Halloween.

I'd mildly recommend this DVD, or any of the other 3 Blind Dead films. This series has some charm that draws me to revisit it every few years
Product review:
Blue Underground DVD contains both the English version (87 mins) and the uncensored Spanish version (91 mins). The picture and audio quality are both fine. The dark scenes can be kind of tough to make out. The only special features are Theatrical trailers and a still image gallery.
