This is the follow up to Emilio Miraglia’s The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave. Red Queen sits more firmly in the traditional giallo structure of a modern (well, 1970’s modern) murder mystery with touches of horror and gore. There is much stronger plotting and characterization and it’s overall a better movie. I wouldn’t quite put it on the upper tier of giallos, but there a few iconic moments that make it better than average.
