THE NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE (1971) et THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES

THE NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE (1971). Anthony Steffen (DJANGO THE BASTARD) stars as an English aristocrat who grieves over the death of his perfidious wife Evelyn by bringing home a string of red-headed prostitutes and striptease artists (including KILL, BABY... KILL's Erika Blanc), none of whom are ever seen again. When he remarries, this time to a gorgeous blond (Marina Malfatti), strange apparitions, midnight slayings, and an empty tomb suggest that Evelyn has come back to voice her displeasure. Is madness or murder the soul of the plot… and who will live to know the truth?
THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES: Guilt over the accidental death of
their sister Evelyn binds siblings Francesca (Marina Malfatti) and
Kitty (DON’T TORTURE A DUCKLING’s Barbara Bouchet). When the girls
inherit their family castle, a string of savage murders decimates their
circle of friends, associates and lovers… murders committed by a
dark-haired woman in a blood-red cloak. Is it the work of their
ancestor, the “Red Queen” whom legend says claims seven lives every
hundred years… or could it be their dead sister Evelyn, back from her
watery grave to exact a terrible revenge?
Pity those who saw these two hallucinogenic giallo gems via scratched
drive-in prints or panned-and-scanned bootleg video cassettes. NoShame Films proudly presents these genre masterpieces in their original widescreen aspect ratios, in full bloody color, both backed by classic EuroCult scores by Bruno Nicolai (CASE OF THE SCORPION’S TAIL).

COLT 38 SPECIAL SQUAD
Two of the great all-time European badasses go mano a mano in this brutal crime thriller from Massimo Dallamano (WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS?). When his wife becomes the latest innocent victim of a merciless Marseilles crime lord (Ivan Rassimov, of YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED DOOR AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY), police captain Vanni (THE FRENCH CONNECTION’s Marcel Bozzuffi) goes beyond the law to form a secret squad of rogue cops, each armed with an unlicensed 38 Colt revolver. As Vanni and his vigilante crew take back the night bullet by bullet, the Marsellais joins the game by instigating a wave of violent crimes that turns the city into a deadly playground.
Released in Italy as Quelli della Calibro 38 (“Those of the 38 Caliber”), COLT 38 SPECIAL SQUAD was the last film directed by Massimo Dallamano and is a no-holds-barred poliziotteschi that’s an absolute winner on all fronts: a great cast (Rassimov and Bozzuffi tear up the town in their only screen pairing), high octane action, unflinching violence and a rousing Euro-funk score from maestro Stelvio Cipriani (DEATH WALKS ON HIGH HEELS), plus a surprise guest appearance by Grace Jones!
No Shame Films is proud to present 38 COLT SPECIAL SQUAD for the first time on DVD, uncut and restored to its original aspect ratio.
Included in this 2-disc special edition is LA BIDONATA (1978), the long-lost final film by giallo specialist Luciano Ercoli. Shelved after its producer was kidnapped in Italy, the film was never released anywhere in the world and is presented now for the first time by NoShame Films, culled from the original 35 mm negative!
