Evelyn always gets up from the graves at night. The film “Evelyn rises from the grave” does not amaze us with the number of famous actors, but it remains a very tense thriller in the spirit of “jallo”.
The main role of Anthony Steffen, whom we almost do not know, but who starred in a huge amount of “spaghetti”, and later the militants – such Franco Nero second tier. There are a couple of Marina Malfati and Enzo Taracho, who starred together in one of the most terrible films “Grass painted red”, this is their joint project much more successful. Well, Malfati has more cards on her hands in this role, almost the main one, and she does quite well, while wearing very revealing dresses with remarkably deep necklines.
It is noteworthy that Umberto Rajo also starred here, who was noted in many iconic films in the gallo genre. From "Bird with Crystal Feather" and other Argento films to the gallos from Sergio Martino and even in the film "Tropic of Cancer". Of the latest films, it is worth noting the action movie “Colonia” with Van Damme and Mickey Rourke (the role of a monk, as I now remember). His memorable appearance is literally a visiting card of detectives from masters of the genre and not only.
The plot of the film is very, very confusing. The main character is a count, the owner of the castle and lands of a huge square invites girls to his estate (hop, pun) and seems to kill them. He pays them a lot of money for the meeting. It is a special pleasure to watch the count not hesitate to offer girls of easy conduct at 200, 300 or even 1000 pounds, and does it with such elegant ease that just jealousy takes. He also deals with his wife’s brother, giving him money for silence without hesitation. But all this gradually ends, as the count is haunted by the ghost of his dead wife. Then begins the classic Jallo with the appearance of ghosts and a series of mysterious murders.
At about the 55th minute for a sophisticated viewer, everything becomes clear. For beginners, you should look to the end and be surprised by the double, or even triple bottom. In general, a strong detective, and sometimes a militant, growing out of a mystical basis, I must say with some sense of humor.
