This is a true gem of EuroGoth horror. Made between the first two and last two Blind Dead instalments by Spanish horror director Amando de Ossorio, Lorely unfortunately lacks all the atmosphere and pathos of Blind Dead classics. But violent attacks, sexy ladies, tacky gore effects, and a suave heroic Tony Kendall make up for an otherwise quite cheap looking movie. Loads of seventies semi nudity, funky soundtrack, weird red herring decoy characters, including a blind village idiot, and an mysterious professor with a very basic chemistry lab, where he figures out the mystery of the Lorely, just seconds before being attacked and killed. There's even a hero's-love-interest-turns-out-to-be-the-villain sub plot too. But if you like cheesy EuroGoth, then you know what to expect, and this movie should be right up your alley. .
