Low budget, slight giallo

Warning: Spoilers
A GAME FOR EVELINE (1972, original title Un gioco per Eveline) is an extremely rare and low budget little giallo shot in France. I found a scuzzy copy on Youtube with English subtitles. The story begins with a bickering married couple surviving a car wreck and ending up recuparting at a countryside villa inhabited by another couple and the ghost of a little girl who seems to haunt the place. Not much happens in this slow-burning oddity; there are a few mildly spooky scenes but little in the way of the carnage or indeed atmosphere most viewers will expect from the genre. In addition, the mystery is just too slight to sustain the running time, so there are boring parts. As for the twist ending, I suspect many will class it as a cop out...
