Night of the Seagulls (1975) - Mikey B

Created on August 22nd, 2008 by Mikey B

The final film in the Blind Dead series sure left me shaking my head. Night of the Seagulls has an awesome premise, a really nice set up, and you can tell a lot of love went into it. But, it feels like Amando de Ossorio was tired of the series and felt that he wanted to end it before he ran out of ideas. This is especially shown in the rushed ending, which although it makes sense, has the depth of a shallow grave. Tombs and Return were excellent heart-pounding films, and to a lesser extent The Ghost Galleon followed in their footsteps, but Night of the Seagulls plodded along to a whimpering finish, just like many of the girls in the film.
