The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (Italian: La dama rossa uccide sette volte) is a 1972 Italian giallo film directed by Emilio Miraglia.
Two sisters, Kitty (Barbara Bouchet) and Evelyn, are cursed by a family painting depicting a hundred year-cycle in which a Red Queen is raised from the dead to kill seven times. After Evelyn seemingly perishes and multiple killings ensue, their niece Franziska (Marina Malfatti) and Kitty start to suspect that Evelyn may be the Red Queen.
The film was released theatrically in its native Italy in August 1972.
The film was released theatrically in the United States by The Cannon Group in 1976.
On VHS and DVD, the film has been released by various titles including Blood Feast (not to be confused with the Herschell Gordon Lewis film of the same name).
NoShame DVD released the officially licensed film remastered, widescreen and uncut on DVD in 2006 as part of the Emilio Miraglia Killer Queen Box Set.
Arrow Films will release a Region 2 DVD edition & a Region B Blu-ray edition for the British market on 17th April 2017.
AllMovie called it a "standard but solid entry in the giallo genre."
