I thought I was too harsh on the first Blind Dead film, finding that it took too long to get to bits where actual things were happening on screen. Now I've watched the third film in the Blind Dead series, I'm beginning to think that somehow that's part of the plot - to have nothing remotely interesting happen for the first half of the film.
This one stars some models out on a motor boat for some publicity stunt (which didn't make sense to me) going missing once a ghostly ship comes out of nowhere. It's up to their mates, some shady guy, and a couple of others to look for them. And this film involves a lot of people wandering around looking for each other, something I hate in a film.
Not much gore here, by the way. Just lots of people wandering around a ship arguing and looking for each other. As usual the Blind Dead turn up just about the time you're about to switch off the film, and they look creepy as usual, but if only they actually did something constructive.
I watched the washed out Mill Creek version here, by the way, so maybe a cleaned up version adds a bit of atmosphere. It just looks to me that the director had no money but made a film anyway - check out the 'sparkler used as a flare' bit. I've still got Night of the Seagulls to watch so hopefully that's better.
