  A wealthy playboy tortures and kills redheads who remind him of his ex-wife, until he marries one and his problems really start. About the best thing that can be said for this tawdry giallo is that it evokes a certain distinctive era of leisure-suit sleaze; guys who've been dumped by redheads may find it therapeutic, too.

  What is there to say about this movie that hasn't already been said? La notte che Evelyn uscì dalla tomba (The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave) is just not a great movie, at all. It's European trash cinema that somehow made its way from Italy to Britain and then to the US. The plot is very much convoluted, and the movie has no clear idea in what direction it wants to take. Sometimes it's a haunted house movie; other times it's a deranged serial killer sort of movie; and then there are times when it's a giallo. It's really all over the place. It also seems to move too quickly and never nail down exactly what it is that it's about, or what kind of tone it wants to set. It manages to kick in some odd thrills and chills in different places, but ultimately nothing exciting. It feels more akin to sexy giallo thrillers like Asylum Erotica, but then again it doesn't even rise to that level. I found it somewhat entertaining, in a bad yet good way, but I spent most of my time trying to figure out just what in the hell it was all about. I don't think that was intentional and it just winds up being a big mess, not to mention a giant mish-mash of ideas, tones and story points. Pretty much skippable.

  A little campy, a little titillating, a little scary (VERY little).

  This is drive in Stuff, My Copy came out of the Tales from the Bone Yard Collection. Allen is running around killing red heads , until his best friend intro's him to one that looks very much like his wife, oh but there is a plot to hi best buddys plan. Its a cool movie, not much horror more suspense. Its worth watching.

  Some Spoilers Here***********************************************************Alan (Anthony Steffen), an English multi-millionaire with a few screws loose (thanks to his first wife's infidelity and untimely death during childbirth), entices sexy, red-headed women to his castle, offering them bundles of cash to stay the weekend. Once back at his ancestral pile, he gets them nekkid, proceeds to flog them with a bull-whip, and then kills them. But when he meets blonde hottie Gladys (Marina Malfatti) and falls for her ample charms, he decides to give up his murderous ways and get married. Their wedded bliss is short-lived, however, thanks to Alan's iffy mental state, which becomes increasingly fragile when his dead wife Evelyn starts to appear outside his window and a spate of gruesome murders occur within the castle grounds. So let's recap: a groovy 70s Euro-horror with loads of tasty women in various states of undress; spooky Gothic retreats and misty graveyards; a sadistic rich psycho with a penchant for drop-dead gorgeous babes with cracking bods; several vicious murders (including a great bit where one victim has her head bashed in with a rock and her entrails eaten by foxes). Normally, a checklist like that would guarantee me a good time?so why did I find 'The Night Evelyn Came Out Of Her Grave' so dull? Well, for starters, the plot is way too convoluted: there are red herrings, crazy plot developments, and suspects galore, and it all becomes a bit too much. By the ridiculous ending?in which we discover that, all along, several people have been plotting to get their greedy paws on Alan's wealth, and that our red-head killing nut-job is actually supposed to be the hero of the movie?my head was hurting too much to care. Secondly, Emilio Maraglia's direction is pretty torpid. Stylish, yes; but as slow as molasses at times. And then there's the bits that are just too damn silly, possibly even for a giallo: the death by poisonous snake bite (surely one of the most bizarre choices of weapon ever); Alan's Aunt Agatha, an old crippled relative who is played by a pretty young woman; the hiring of a group of identical curly headed blondes as maids; the poor attempt at convincing the audience that the film is set in England (mentioning 'pounds' and hiring a crap police uniform for one of the extras is not enough); and then, of course, there is the unlikelihood of finding a bag of sulphuric acid laying next to a swimming pool... 'The Night Evelyn Came Out Of Her Grave' isn't a total waste of time, but there are much better giallo's out there. Watch this one if you're a fan of the genre and you've already seen the best?but don't expect too much.
