After ditching her friends in rural Portugal, Virginia enters a small village to find the place abandoned. After entering a monastery to find a safe place to rest, “ the bells in the steeple begin to toll, awakening the centuries-dead occupants.” The curse of the long dead Knights Templar: they have come to exact some slow-motion revenge on all the living! Atmospheric 1972 b-film for those with patience. The tag line is “ don’t let your heart beat too loudly… The blind dead will find you!!!” #vhstape #tombsoftheblinddead #theghostgalleon #paragonvideo #returnoftheevildead #amandodeossorio #knightstemplar #folkhorror #folkhorrorcinema https://www.instagram.com/p/CIn5GFnHuLI/?igshid=whit0ezfprv5

Exploitation filmmaker Jess Franco’s supernatural take on films like Witchfinder General and Ken Russell’s The Devils, French-Portuguese 1973 film Les Demons. Voyeuristic and fetish packed, and more watchable than the similar Mark of the Devil, Les Demons reminds me more of something from the mind of late 18th century author Matthew Lewis. Also an excellent and psychedelic score from Jean-Bernard Raiteux doesn’t hurt. #lesdemons #jesusfranco #witchfindergeneral #kenrussellsthedevils #markofthedevil #bloodonsatansclaw #folkhorror #folkhorrorcinema #cinemafantastique #judgejeffries #70sexploitationfilm https://www.instagram.com/p/CF15oAln_zb/?igshid=gn9suqtkywb2
