The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave - 1971

Wikipedia: "It was released theatrically in the United States on 26 July 1972 as The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave. When shown theatrically in the United States, it was distributed with such gimmicks as theaters serving 'bloodcorn', popcorn that had been dyed red. Several versions of the film circulated which were often edited and/or re-edited, such as the television version titled Evelyn Raises the Dead."
"AllMovie wrote 'The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave might make acceptable fodder for giallo fans but isn't as memorable as its reputation suggests.' In his essay Danse Macabre, author Stephen King described the film as an 'Italian turkey'"

The Night Evelyn... whatever, I'm not putting the whole title. Evelyn is a early 70's Italian schlock horror with all the ingredients one needs. Tons of nudity, to the point where it's basically a softcore flick, ghosts, paintings, weirdness, anf of course, slow as shit plot movement.

I put this one on, and wheeeeew it takes a while. I was a bit distracted for part, and I also had started it before apparently, because parts seemed quite familiar. In the beginning a mental patient escapes a ward, and then we cut to some house where a dude is torturing women in a BDSM dungeon. Fucking hot. Then, random shit happens and it's basically some Italian guy who is scared of his wife's ghost because he likely killed her. What this all has to do with the mental patient and the BDSM is beyond me, and anyways the movie keeps going on there's foxes and deaths and lots of tits, but despite all this it's all decidedly bland somehow.

That's the short of this movie. It has a lot, A LOT, which could make it interesting, but it somehow isn't. I was mildly entertained, but there's too much going on and I didn't understand, and additionally I didn't care to. 2.5 stars for the horror and the nudity when it's happening and you're into it briefly.
