A wealthy seller of athletic equipment (Jack Taylor) plans a publicity campaign that involves sending two attractive women out to sea near his shipping routes. After they come across an old, enigmatic ship, the man loses touch with them and arranges for a search team. Frightening events then unfold. “The Ghost Galleon,” released in 1974 as El buque maldito—meaning “The Cursed Ship”—follows in the footsteps of Hammer productions like "The Lost Continent" and “The Vengeance of She” (both from 1968), although with a less detailed narrative. Later movies, including “The Fog,” “Death Ship,” and “Ghost Ship,” drew inspiration from it. Still, this one isn’t as good as those, because the plot feels basic and moves at a slow pace, which makes watching it somewhat uninteresting. However, it does manage to create some genuinely creepy moments; essentially, it's like a haunted house story but using a 15th-century Spanish galleon instead of an actual house. Margarita Merino as Lorena is a brief bright spot among the female characters, then comes Blanca Estrada as Kathy. Maria Persch portrays Lillian and was 35 years old when filming; she remained appealing, though her character isn't very likable, which is fortunate. This represents the third film in writer/director Amando de Ossorio’s Blind Dead series, alongside "Tombs of the Blind Dead," "Return of the Evil Dead" and "Night of the Seagulls." You don’t have to have seen the other films to enjoy this one; it can be watched on its own. The film has a running time of 1 hour, 29 minutes, and was filmed in Alicante along Spain's southeastern coast, with studio work completed in Madrid. GRADE: C+
