The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave (3 Stars)

Though considered a classic of Italian horror by many, this 1971 film is showing its age. Maybe English high society parties really did look like this 40 years ago, but for viewers today they look archaic and quaint, and could just have well taken place in the 19th or even the 18th Century.

Lord Alan Cunningham is a wealthy millionaire suffering from depression after the death of his wife in childbirth. To ease his grief he hires prostitutes, who he tortures and kills in his cellar. One day he meets a girl at a party, falls in love at first sight and asks her to marry him a few hours later. All seems to be going well after the marriage. Except that his castle is being haunted by Evelyn, jealous of her husband's new wife.
