OVERALL: R1

R1 "The Blind Dead Collection" offers the most complete version of the movie in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio, with an anamorphic transfer, the original Spanish Mono soundtrack, English subtitles and significant extras on the bonus disc. Do note though that it is missing on one short scene found on the Brentwood disc.

Note that at least one other German FSK 16 releases by Astro/Best Entertainment, running 82:35 PAL, is available but of course best avoided.

A comparison between the original Spanish version and the shorter US version is available on Schnittberichte.
A comparison between the US version and the even shorter German FSK16 version is also available on Schnittberichte.

This film is also known as:
- "La Noche del Buque Maldito"
- "Ship of Zombies"
- "The Blind Dead 3"
- "Zombie Flesh Eater"
