Rating: Summary: A horribly butchered version of a good horror film Review: This edited version of The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave, a perfectly good Italian horror film in its uncut form, is a travesty, with a good 15 minutes of its best material excised. This is an Erica Blanc movie, for heaven's sake; no editorial scissors should be allowed anywhere near any piece of film housing Erica Blanc's wonderful self. I should go ahead and tell you that you aren't going to see anything here; sure, Blanc is chased around a castle topless, but you would hardly know it from what little piece of the scene you get here. It gets worse. This film sort of revolves around the appearance of the ghost of the main character's first wife, yet an early and exceedingly important ghostly apparition is less than subtly sliced completely out. One morning, completely out of the blue, wife number two is suddenly talking all about what she saw last night and how she knows it was "her." Without knowing anything about the plot going in, it would be exceedingly difficult to understand what the heck this woman is even talking about at this point. I won"t describe the plot because, thanks to the butchers in some editing room, it makes very little sense whatsoever in this edited version. If you can find the full, 103-minute version of this Erica Blanc classic, by all means buy it and enjoy it. In the meantime, try to avoid this edited, 88-minute hatchet job at all costs. Sadly, you really can't even depend on the box description, which means you have to be wary of purchasing what is supposedly the complete version. All of the nudity and actual horror is nowhere to be found here, and all I can do is curse whatever evil minions have gone unpunished for the terrible deeds they have done to Erica Blanc devotees such as myself and all fans of European horror everywhere.
Rating: Summary: How do I vote for zero stars!!?? Review: What a horrid DVD (and I never ever complain)...And I LOVE this film!! I think they got this print from my old beat up copy that I taped in the 70's on my beta machine from a pirated cable channel and only recently found crushed in the bottom of my basement...and I didn't even receive any royalties for providing it!! Come on, guys, you should be embarressed!! I am for having purchased this crappy copy... I know you are gonna make a few bucks on the handful of fools that buys this DVD, but you'll have a short lived career in the DVD-producing business. Do I need to continue?
