It's fair to say that "Virginia" (María Elena Arpón) isn't the sharpest tool in the box when she gets fed up with the flirting of her travelling companions "Roger" (César Burner) and "Betty" (Lone Fleming) and abandons their slowly moving Portuguese train in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, she stumbles upon what looks like a ruined monastery and having built a pretty impressive fire from a few twigs, settles down in her sleeping bag for a good night's sleep. No chance. Barely have her eyes closed than things are going bump in the night. The bodies of the condemned Knights Templar buried on the site resurrect themselves and are are thirsty! Feeling a little guilty next day, her two friends try to trace her movements but are ill-equipped for what they find - especially when their horses take flight. Soon the police, some local smugglers and a comically staged cat-fight provide a little entertainment as these wraith like versions of Richard the Lionheart continue to wreak havoc... It's actually quite fun, this film. By no means can it be called good and the acting (and writing) is pretty woeful, but it does make use of it's creepy monastic surroundings quite well, with loads of creaking and dimly lit passageways. There's some fun to be had in a mannequin factory (they don't react too well to fire) too, and there's loads of hysterical screaming - from both sexes. It's way too long with far too much padding, but it's still quite an entertaining horror that can make you laugh.
