The scent of a nubile camper awakens the corpses of the ancient order of Templars--a horde of 13th century crusaders blinded and executed for heresy--from their 600-year slumber. Revived and hungry, the sightless zombies rely on their ears to hunt down their victims, and unlike most undead, who stumble about in slow-moving hordes, the Templars ride horses and even trains in pursuit of the sweet, sweet flesh of the living.

Classique de l'horreur espagnole. Des lieux anciens de château magnifiquement tournés, en plans ralentis et accompagnés de chants funèbres, mettant en scène des chevaliers-squelettes montés sur des chevaux noirs. Une dose solide de sexe, du gore subtil, une poésie irrésistiblement trash et une fin sensationnelle. Le film est si lent et il ne se passe tellement rien que vous vous ennuyez la plupart du temps. Mais lorsque l'on approche de la conclusion, vous êtes tendu comme un fil et vous êtes en extase. Une contribution intéressante de la bonne vieille école du Euro-Shock qui ravive agréablement le courant d'horreur peu palpitant actuel. Que Peter Jackson ne prétende pas qu'il n'a pas trouvé ses Nazgûls dans ces chevaliers !

Give me a break! When someone has at their disposal mysterious ruins, the atmosphere of the Spanish countryside and dead Templars crawling out of their graves, and they use that to make a long and chatty film that gives you a strong urge to press fast-forward, they don’t deserve praise and a 76% rating, but a proper trashing. It’s a shame that the entire thing doesn’t have the spirit of the last 15 minutes, those are really good.

The film "La noche del terror ciego" falls mainly because it has a very slow pace, when in 101 minutes the film is simply too stretched out and it's not until later that you get the more action-packed horror that you want to see. The film doesn't try to unnecessarily conceal anything, it even slightly attacks male instincts, which it succeeds in quite well. It's a shame that it doesn't have a better attack on the goal and doesn't head towards darker action earlier. Then it would deserve an even higher rating.
