Just saw this yesterday, and loved it


For some background, I've seen this movie before, a really poor print off Mill Creek's 50 movie pack called Pure Terror, so the movie didn't do much for me the first time around.

Seeing it again on Shudder (which not only has infinitely better video quality, but is in it's original Italian, with English subtitles) yesterday, The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave struck me as a very good movie. Has a nice giallo feel, and mixes in some dashes of classic Italian gothic feels.

Also, being a giallo, I did quite love the amount of potential suspects and reasons for the on-going mysterious murders. Because it's been years since I'd last seen it (and I saw only a poor copy), I didn't remember how the film ended, so come the finale, great times were had.

I think this has a lot going for it, and while not the most amazing Italian horror film from the 1970's, it's worth a look if you're into giallos.

Nice giallo/gothic horror hybrid. But I'm still trying to work out how they achieved that manifestation of Evelyn at the seance.... Don't remember that being explained.
