Storyline
| Plot Summary |
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.

| Trivia | Some distributors in the US re-cut and released this film with the title "Revenge from Planet Ape" in an effort to capitalize on the success of the Planet of the Apes (1968). A prologue was added in this cut version to make a connection--though dubious--between the two films. The prologue explains that 3000 years ago a simian civilization of super-intelligent apes struggled with man to gain control of the planet. In the end, man conquered ape after a brutal battle that saw him destroy the ape, his culture and society. After this battle man tortured and killed all the ape prisoners by piercing their eyes with red-hot pokers. One of the prisoners, who was also the leader of the apes, vowed they would return from the dead to avenge man's brutality" at a point in time before man destroyed Earth himself. This alternate prologue is available for viewing on the Blue-Underground DVD release. See more » |
| Goofs | During the films intro titles, the camera is looking around the "abandoned" ruins of the Templars monastery. In one shot, a van with a ladder strapped to its roof-rack can be seen going across a bridge in the background, at the top of the picture. See more » |
