THE PLOT:

When a publicity stunt of two models on a boat goes horribly wrong and the two get lost in a fog. They end up on a creaky floating tomb of the blind dead. That's right, these sea going Templars make short work of the Supermodels and move along.

The head of the modeling agency and a group of employees start looking for the babes and too meet the Templars Pirates. But can they escape the fate of the models or will they too succumb to the monsters of the deep?

ZEDD'S OPINION:

This third installment of the Blind Dead series isn't quite as good as the last two. Sure, a group of people are trapped in a very cramped area. But there are character flaws and effects errors. The ship catches fire near the end of the film, but they made the fire too large which shows the fact it's only a model. That was a novice mistake, they should have been more careful. But still it's a pretty cool installment of the Blind Dead series and deserves credit for going out of their way to bring you a new twist on the Knights Templer and these Seagoing Templars are just as cool and scary as their land based counterparts. A worthy edition to the BLIND DEAD family and worth all the attention it gets. I give TOMB OF THE BLIND DEAD 3: THE GHOST GALLEON...8 STARS

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I agree with Zedd on this. Especially the part about the major goof up in the flick. I am talking about the model ghost galleon error. That was just bad, they should have known better. That's leason 1 in FX school, don't let the fire get bigger then your model or you ruin the illusion. Still the Ghost Galleon sets were perfect. But this installment gets the lowest grade ever...7 STARS

ON THE POSTIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ SEAGOING TEMPLARS (Very cool concept.)
+ STORY (The idea of the story of seagoing Templars is a good one.)
+ EFFECTS (For the most part the effects are good.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- CHARACTER ISSUES (There are some minor character issues.)
- EFFECTS ERROR (Watch the ghost galleon go up in flames, you'll see what I mean.)

...AND FINALLY...

- FAN BASED (If you didn't like the first two BLIND DEAD movies, then this is not the movie for you.)
