Their Pagan God has Given his Command: 7 Nights, 7 Victims, 7 Human Hearts!

Quick Answer
Night of the Seagulls is a 1975 Spanish horror film directed by Amando de Ossorio about a doctor and his wife who move to a coastal village plagued every seven years by undead Templar knights demanding the sacrifice of young women.
Programmer's Pick
If wind-whipped coastal horror and zombie knights sound like your kind of evening, the fourth Blind Dead film delivers. Ossorio leans into seaside dread and ritual sacrifice, anchoring the gothic with an undercurrent of folk horror that doesn't let up. Local hospitality comes with a side of medieval curse.
