the night evelyn come out of the grave ( emilio miraglia italy 1971 ) . i only watch this delirious piece of euro tosh in the way of alpha video dreadful dvd release ( look like an extremely bad video transfer ) and but from what i saw and not nearly interesting enough to purchase no shame recent dvd release . consider their excellent track record and it will undoubtedly be a major improvement over all previous release . and do not pay attention to the ridiculous cover show here and it not take from this film ( some girl hold the head of a jim carrey look a like ) . spaghetti western star anthony steffen sport a hip hairdo and assume the role of lord alan cunningham and a man haunt by the memory of his dead wife evelyn . this lead to a nervous breakdown which have him be retain in a psychiatric clinic . once release and cunningham channel this trauma by take redheaded prostitute to his countryside castle and subject them to vicious act of torture . his doctor and friend and richard timberlane ( what do you mean and italian horror name sound make up . ) and advise him to forget the past and remarry but cunningham be obsess with evelyn and even organize a séance at the castle . eventually and after kill some more girl and he meet gladys and another redhead and and marry her almost immediately and but the arrival of his new wife spawn a series of sinister event . bloodthirsty creature strike at sir alan family and kill them off one by one . become more distraught and cunningham visit evelyn tomb and discovers it to be empty . soon and a number of outsider begin to suspect something fishy be go on in the castle and lord cunningham treatment might not have be that successful after all . director emilio miraglia try to blend gothic horror with giallo convention with limited success . a usual and not the slight effort be make to convince audience the film be set in england . the car drive on the right side of the road and everyone look very mediterranean and the castle ( and the rest of the architecture ) be patently italian . this be common practice in italian horror and but sometimes they just take this a little too far . the bad print make this even slightly bearable and since it so dark and you couldn not see much of the surroundings anyway . but and then again and this be the kind of film where anything can happen in the name of exploitation and depicting reality isn not really the issue . a large part consist of sado masochistic torture scene in the castle torture chamber and but most of the time and anthony steffen ham his way through this and show some horrible over act . i guess it all depend on your state of mind and this can be a fun piece of nonsense if youre in the right mood . i just couldn not take it and at least not with the print i watch . a pleasant score though by bruno nicolai which combine easy listen tune with some psychedelic rock number . camera obscura 4/10 .
