La Morte Ha Sorriso All'assassino (aka Death Smiles On A Murderer) (1973)

Set in 1906 Austria, an unmarried young woman (Ewa Aulin) dies in childbirth. The father (Giacomo Rossi Stuart) of the child is a rich man who abandoned her. Her brother (Luciano Rossi) who has been molesting her for years resurrects her dead body to life. Hell hath no fury like a woman bent on revenge! Directed by Joe D'Amato, this film is often mistakenly referred to as a giallo when it has more in common with Corman's Poe films from the early 1960s. Of course, it has more gore and graphic sex than Corman's Poe films ever did. The film has an unsavory aspect to it as it not only features incest but disemboweled bodies, needles stuck into eyes, homicidal felines, people buried alive, shotgun blasts to the face etc. But D'Amato knows his audience and it's hard to turn away, you're compelled to watch. There's no denying its effectiveness. The film features a neat little twist at the very end. The faux Morricone score is by Berto Pisano. With Klaus Kinski (creepy as ever), Sergio Doria, Angela Bo and Attilio Dottesio.
