Plot:
In the 13th century there existed a legion of evil knights known as the Templars, who quested for eternal life by drinking human blood and committing sacrifices. Executed for their unholy deeds, the Templars bodies were left out for the crows to peck out their eyes. Now, in modern day Portugal, a group of people stumble on the Templars abandoned monastery, reviving their rotting corpses to terrorize the land. IMDB

Review:
I don't really recommend this one - to the normal viewer. :) It is an odd movie, but not really that bad. It could have been much worse. The worst part was that it had English subtitles, so we were forced to sit and watch it, instead of just paying mild attention to it and doing something else at the same time. :/ :D The effects were pretty good, surprisingly, but the story was a bit drawn out. Not horrible, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are into other movies just like it.

Language is in Spanish, but text is obviously available in English. Maybe even dubbed in the US.

This movie is banned in Sweden!

But we definately found Peter Jackson's inspiration for the Black Riders. :D

Only deserves a:
