This 3rd entry in the Blind Dead series may be the weakest link, but it still has a lot going for it. First of all, like all the films in the series, Ghost Galleon has some of the most original looking zombies ever committed to celluloid. We get to see plenty of them, but at times their presence on a dark boat can be obscured. They also don't turn in any kind of high body count which is what fans expect from a zombie film. This makes it kind of the oddball in this fine quadrilogy, but perhaps De Ossorio was being influenced by Italy's Giallo films at the time and was going more for atmosphere. I say this because this movie is almost pure creepy atmosphere with it's shapes, shadows and sounds. The main setting of the haunted, centuries old ship is also terrific even if the miniature version of the boat looks more like a 4th grade class project. Despite the lack of death, blood and serious action I never once felt the film was boring. The feel of dread and hopelessness kept me wondering who would win the day and the magnificent ending made me proud to be a horror fan.

I saw this for the first time recently. Have enjoyed the first two but this one is a disappointment. This film is the third in Ossorio's Blind Dead series. This is the weakest one n nothing compared to the first two. It has some genuine atmosphere n claustrophobic feel along with a solid ending. The templar's horses' r missing n the film moves at a very slow pace, more slower than the zombies. Some of the scenes r shot in the dark which is annoying.

A pair of models lose contact with the ad agency while busy shooting on a boat in the middle of the ocean. They cross a dimension n board a mysterious dilapidated ship covered by thick fog. A friend of one of the models contacts the agency regarding the whereabouts but is abducted by the boss of the agency. She unwillingly takes part in the rescue op along with the businessman, his secretary, his bodyguard n a scientist in their search for the missing models and their boat.

What shall we call this movie? The Blind Dead 3? Horror of the Zombies? Ship of Zombies? Or The Ghost Ship of the Swimming Corpses? Let's just go with The Ghost Galleon and know that it's the third Blind Dead movie after Tombs of the Blind Dead and Return of the Blind Dead.

Writer and director Amando de Ossorio is back, again pitting the former Knights Templar, now zombie horde against some swimsuit models and the rescue party that comes to get them. Now, they have the power to appear within the fog, taking over the ocean and killing all that they come near.

Jack Taylor, who worked with Jess Franco often, shows up here. He was in everything from Mexican films like Nostradamus and the Monster Demolisher to The Vampires Night Orgy and Pieces.

This movie is like being in a trance. A trance that has a flaming ship in a bathtub for a special effect, which is perhaps one of the finest trances to find oneself. The Blind Dead themselves are wonderful as always, but the idea that a sporting goods store owner could get publicity by stranding models and then somehow a galleon filled with the graves of Knights Templar who sacrificed women to Satan find them and take them inside their fog world and...ah, why am I complaining? That's actually a perfectly logical plot.
