More of that good ol' Templar craziness again as Mr. de Ossorio graces us with another tale of the wacky adventures of the Blind Dead.
This time around the Templars are back for blood! *muwahahaha!* Again! *muwahahaha!* (Well, vengeance, too; but mostly blood!) Legend has it that the townsfolk from back when burned all of their eyes and barr-bee-cued 'em at the stake for 'un they were practicin' that crazy 'witch' stuff. Guess they don't take to kindly to that 'round they-ah.
Fast forward to the present, and it's during the town's big Cenntennial celebration that they decide to arise and ride (slowly) and (slowly) extract demise to all unsuspecting victims who are unable to escape their grasp! Luckily a few are able to. However, they hole themselves up in an old cathedral and must survive until daybreak.
Beware the Blind (and damn slow) Dead! *muwahahahaha!!!!*

If you're expecting this installment to follow the tone of the first, you will be sorely disappointed. Then again, I guess that would depend on if you liked it or not. I did, so I could care less.
Either way, de Ossario delivers a solid film here as he tries to speed up the pace a little bit and increas the body count. (I wonder if the words 'more commercial' come into play?) The cast was hilarious and the action choreogropher guy definitely earned his check with this one. Props go to the wardrobe cats, too. Damned if they weren't looking spiffy before they ran into the 'Blind Dead'.
Speaking of 'Blind Dead', unfortunately (although I feel what he de Ossario was trying to do.) their scenes feel way out of place for the way the film was set up. I still don't get the horses either. Then again, if I did, it wouldn't be funny. One should wonder if anyone ever had a sense of time while filming this damn movie! Night, then day, then night again, they daytime some more. Dammnit! Make up your mind!
Some pretty good violence, and they did not detract from having flavorfulicious eye candy. (Don't care what you say, 'Vivian' was one hot number). Come to think of it, there were quite a few hot numbers running rampant through the film.
The nudity (Vivian), usually a welcomed bonus, dings the movie a little as I don't care for seeing it as a result of "assault". No sir, I don't like it! Though if you watch carefully, I'll de damned if Ms. Roy didn't laugh during said sequence. You have to see it to believe it. She literally seems like she's being tickled or something. Daah well. There's a little more sprinkled out besides that, but don't expect too much.
The movie does drag a bit much for my tastes and the ending was a bit off. I didn't understand how that happened in this film, but not in the first?
It certainly won't hurt to own (or at least rent) this one. Come to think of it, if you do get it, it's gonna be paired with the first, or, if you can (and should), go ahead and get the box set out on DVD.
