EMBODIMENT OF EVIL (SYNAPSE)

In 1964 Jose Mojica Marins introduced the character of Coffin Joe to the shocked filmgoers of Brazil in a movie entitled At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul and then in 1967 he returned with Tonight I'll Possess Your Corpse. Both tales were violent and shocking films about a madman seeking the perfect woman to bear his offspring. In order to do this Joe must torture the women and see how much they can take.
In Brazil the films were considered trash and they were not seen in the US for many years, but during the video boom in the 80's these films were finally given the release here in the US from Something Weird Video and we got to see what a perverse and violent character Joe was.
Well in 2008 Marins finally made the final film in the trilogy, 40 years after the second one ended and what a film it is!! Joe is released from an asylum after 40 years and immediately starts on his quest to find the perfect female to bear his child. He finds he has some faithful followers and they help him find victims to torture.
He is haunted by ghosts from his past which gives the movie a chance to show some scenes from Marin's original films, and everything is very effective.
Synapse does a fine job in turning this out on a blu-ray dvd combo pack and I highly recommend this for fans of Coffin Joe..my god what a movie!!
