DON'T MOVE... DON'T BREATHE... DON'T LET THEM HEAR YOUR HEART BEATING...
In 1971, director Amando de Ossorio, created what horror fans worldwide consider to be Spain's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. In Ossorio's nightmare vision, a legion of Knights Templar - executed horsemen whose eyes had been pecked out by crows - rise rotting from their graves, hunting only by sound in a quest for human flesh. The BLIND DEAD saga begins here, as a modern-day tourist trip to the ruins of the Templar monastery unleashes a frenzy of lesbian desire, sexual violence and the unholy onslaught of the eyeless undead!

This Definitive Edition of TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD - the first of the four BLIND DEAD movies - contains both the original American and uncensored Spanish Versions (complete with newly translated English subtitles), all fully restored from pristine negative materials and transferred in eye-popping High Definition

Enroute to the camp site, on the train, the lovers have a spat, which causes the young lady to toss her things from the trian and jump off into the country side. The conductor refuses to stop the train to allow her boy to chase her, and so it continues to its destination hwere htey all disembark and begin asking the towns people about the area where she jumped off, so they can go search for her.

No one will tell them of the area, citing bad superstitions, and that no one goes there. EVER.

Meanwhile our train jumping girl has found the ruins of an old monastary where she camps for the night, which somehow awakens the cursed Knights Templar who were buried there, after having been executed for witchcraft hundreds of years ago.
These Templar Zombies seek only what most zombies do, to eat any living flesh around. And so they make a snakc of the girl and dump her corpse in a meadow, where it is seen the next day by the conductor and his son.
