What might put you off

  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.

Nearly a half-millenium after they were blinded and executed for committing human sacrifices, a band of Templar knights returns from the grave to terrorize a rural Portuguese village during its centennial celebration. A small group of people take refuge in a deserted cathedral and must find a way to escape from the creatures.
