The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave
11 November 2014
Having sat through nearly every pre-1990 American horror movie worth watching, I began broadening my horizon quite a few years ago now. It was a necessary step, an evolution, to see what the rest of the world offered in the genre that I most adore. Growing up with the many slasher films of the 80s, it wasn't long before I discovered the sub-genre, Giallo, and from there it branched out to the many other horrors from Italy. I was hooked. Several Italian horror films are now amongst my favorites. La notte che Evelyn uscì dalla tomba is not one of them, but I still enjoy it. Just because it's not a favorite doesn't mean it isn't worth watching.

A very wealthy, widowed English Lord lives in a castle and isn't coping very well with the death of his red-headed, cheating wife, Evelyn. So, being the sadist he is, he brings home many young, red-headed women to torture and kill. Will a new wife cure him? ...and what about Evelyn? I don't want to say more than that. Spoilers isn't really my thing. If you're a fan of Italian horror films, then I suggest you seek this one out if you haven't already. Try to get the uncut version. Trust me, it's much better.
