10 Outrageous Films That Must Be Seen To Be Believed

The missing link between George Romero’s zombie films and the eroticism of Jess Franco, Tombs Of The Blind Dead is the first instalment of Spanish director Amando de Ossorio’s quartet about the Templar Knights, who in the Thirteenth Century were excommunicated for worshipping the Devil (and taking an unwholesome interest in busty starlets). After years of torturing and killing young women, the Knights were sentenced to death for their crimes, but not before crows ate out their eyes.

Centuries later, they return as robed skeletons that roam the abandoned medieval village of Berzano, riding their undead horses (!) and seeking their victims by sound. They never have to wait very long because despite all the legends that surround the place, Berzano seems to attract an uncommonly high number of females that have a problem remaining clothed.

First up is backpacker Virginia (Maria Elena Arpon), who abandons her friend Bet (Lone Fleming) after experiencing flashbacks to a steamy relationship they enjoyed years earlier. Naturally, she ends up spending the night in Berzano’s ruined cathedral, and you can probably guess what happens.
