I reviewed this one a few years ago, and I have just recently re-watched it. If you have seen Marins other films from back in the 60's featuring the same character you know pretty much what to expect.
The evil gravedigger is released from prison after 40 years and moves to the slums with his followers in order to continue looking for the perfect woman to bear him a child. Ze finds a lot of victims to choose from, but after putting the women thru a series of brutal tortures he is still disappointed in what he finds.
There are many disturbing images in this film. Marins has lost none of his power to shock an audience. Back in the 60's his films were met with a much different attitude simply because audiences had never seen anything like it before. There are scenes of sadism which no American director would ever do, and when Ze visits what I assume to be Hell, it is astonishing.
I have seen the Marins films and like them all. To see this film in Blu-ray is an experience you will not forget. I cannot recommend this film enough. If you have seen it you might want to see Marins' other films including "At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul" and "Tonight I'll Possess Your Corpse".
