Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

acidburn-10 'The Night Evelyn Came out Of the Grave' is a fantastically atmospheric Giallo film directed by Emilio Miraglia and is drenched in perversion and sadistic to boot and focuses on the arc types of the genre such as sex, murder and mystery. The film follows the sordid life of Lord Alan Cunningham whose not only rich and handsome but also a raving lunatic whose just been released from the psychiatric hospital seemingly cured after the death of his wife Evelyn who was also having many affairs and driven to madness of her betrayal he murders young women. But eventually he meets a captivating young woman named Gladys who serves to temper his wild sickness but for how long.Suspicion, greed and a hefty inheritance all comes into play once he marries Gladys or is there something more to what's actually going on and that is the beauty of the whole thing is that you think you know what's going on, only to have the rug pulled out from underneath you again and be completely surprised whist jarring at the same time. You have absolutely no idea of what's gonna happen next either which was an aspect that I truly enjoyed. Okay for much of the runtime it is pretty sluggish, but when it gets to the last act, then it becomes manic and you question everything you've seen so far.Not only a Giallo but it also mixes in a supernatural thriller into the narrative which really fits in well with its Gothic setting and along with a score by Bruno Nicolai which is just majestic as well as captivating and sets the tone to the movie perfectly, as well as the beautiful scenery and art direction and set pieces which makes this a well and truly beautiful movie to look at.Anthony Steffen takes on the tortured role of Lord Cunningham the well to do psycho who only wants to find love, romantically demented Anthony Steffen makes the role his very own as he puts an equal amount of effort into being sympathetic as well as sadistic and therefore bringing a hefty duality to the character and pulling it off beautifully making you feel disgusted as well as understanding him battling his madness, as well as carrying the entire film on his shoulders with such ease. Then there's Marina Malfatti as the newlywed Mrs Cunningham, extremely beautiful and sympathetic, she brings a lot to this role and often almost steals the show from the male lead and completely breath taking with her intense screen presence as you find yourself rooting for her as she delves deeper into the mystery of the estate and Alan and you are left fearing for her life.All in all 'The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave' may not be one of the most graphic entries in the Giallo genre, but it does have an intriguing plot and enough mystery and suspense to keep horror fans happy and plus it is one of the stronger and original entries you will find in this genre.

mark.waltz If 90 plus minutes of women's crotch shots, bulging breasts and naked butts give you a cinematic thrill, then this movie should be right up your porn drenched alley. But for lovers of Gothic horror with a grand sense of guignol, then skip it. The sadomasochistic themes are overdone with wealthy Anthony Steffan the sleaziest of all Euro trash lovers using every beautiful female he meets for his sick pleasures. Whipping their almost completely naked bodies, he simply gets off on the pain he makes them endure. Finally finding one he claims to love, he gets impulsively married, and even his proposal seems perverted. Well, certain strange occurrences makes the new bride suspicious, leading to the possibility of her own fate being just as violent. Then, there's the revelation about the title character, Steffan's first wife, whose apparent infidelities drove him over the edge in the first place.Set in the present day, this tries to give off a feeling of period Gothic horror but fails on every level. The film manages to be perverse and disturbingly violent with such sequences as a man in the way getting a sudden snake bite and realizing that his assassin is burying him while his last few breaths struggle to leave him. A wheelchair bound Aunt (who appears to be younger than her nephew) also gets a disturbing fate. I get a sense of hatred towards women in this, both through Steffen and the writer and director, making all of the women passive and subservient sexually and emotionally. The film becomes difficult to tolerate and poor quality in the editing and musical score gives it a truly dated feel. With all the badly made cheap horror films of the late 1960's and early 70's, I rank this among the worse. The conclusion makes absolutely no sense. I subtitle it "Taste the Blood of Perversion".

Chase_Witherspoon At times incoherent, this Italian Gothic horror piece has a wealthy aristocrat (Steffen) suffering from a psychotic in-balance that causes him to lure pretty red-heads and lookalikes of his deceased wife Evelyn to his dilapidated castle, for S&M and more. His doctor (Rossi-Stuart) is concerned about his condition and recommends he find a new wife - which he does in Malfatti, but things quickly deteriorate between the newlyweds when "Evelyn" appears to rise from her crypt.Disjointed in parts with hokey special effects and poorly contrived plot set-ups, it's often described as "giallo", but I'd disagree with that definition being applied. Gothic horror perhaps, but the essence of giallo (everyday man witnesses an apparent crime, assumes amateur detective role, becomes the target of the killer) isn't present. The cast is reasonably proficient, although the dubbing is atrocious.Not as violent or sadistic as I'd read, the scene in which the pet foxes "dine-in" on one of the scheming relatives isn't nearly as brutal as reputed (it's also very difficult to discern what's happening by virtue of the poor lighting). Atmospheric at times, the suspense never holds you for very long before it's back to the awfully dubbed dialogue and somewhat puerile haunted castle effects (endless mist, storms, creaking boards and cobwebs). There's a twist ending which partially redeems the movie, but it's too little too late and leaves a gaping plot hole in its explanation that won't go unnoticed.

Aaron1375 This Italian semi-horror movie starts out very much like a soft core porn movie and turns into a mystery that has a few to many loose ends to be good, that and the fact it is rather dull just makes this film rather unwatchable for my tastes. The only thing really worth watching are the many boobs spread throughout the film. The story has a guy who at the beginning of the movie luring girls to his castle where he proceeds to take them to his dungeon, go berserk and seemingly kill them. They show the nudity, but they never really show the murders at this point in the film. Then the guy finds a nice red head at a party and proceeds to make out with her and marry her. He has a thing for red heads you see as his beloved former wife Evelyn was also one, she also died under circumstances that must have not been the viewing audience's business. After a lot of talky scenes murders start to take place involving snakes, foxes and such. At this point it is easy enough to figure out who is responsible for the murders and what the motive is then you have a nonsensical ending where everything wraps up not so nicely. This movie just did not work for me, it left me with to many questions and the last third of the film just did not have the boobs of the first two thirds of the film. Explaining Evelyn's death would have helped the film as would have some sort of ending where Evelyn did rise from the grave. Granted the title is not totally misleading as she did sort of leave the grave, just not under her own power. The gore is very light for the most part as there is a scene with the foxes and a scene at the end with quite a bit of blood too. I just thought for the most part this movie was a tad dull.
