The third entry in "The Blind Dead" series is arguably the weakest: dull, uninvolving and peopled with thoroughly unsympathetic characters who are hard to identify with and, ultimately, care much about. The Knight Templars are, yet again, not the same 'characters' seen in the previous films, as these here have been punished for their evil deeds to perpetually roam the seven seas in the Ghost Galleon of the title; also, they seem to have diminished to a handful as opposed to the endless array of Knight Templars from the previous film. The ending, however, is a beauty: having disposed of the Blind Dead into the deep sea, the two surviving characters reach the shore and, supposedly, safety - only to see the Dead rise from the sea and make their way s-l-o-w-l-y but surely towards them! Some people have seen this film as being a major influence on John Carpenter's infinitely superior THE FOG (1980) but, to me, those comparisons are tenuous at best.
