Out of the hospital and absolved of his crimes, the unholy undertaker Zé do Caixão embarks on an even more brutal campaign of terror in this even more outrageous sequel to José Mojica Marins’ Brazilian horror classic, AT MIDNIGHT I’LL TAKE YOUR SOUL. Aided and abetted by his hunchbacked assistant Bruno, will Zé finally be successful in his quest to find the perfect woman to bear his child? New 4K restoration by Arrow Films.

“There may be a riotous celebration of carnality, and it’s part of the thrill, but there is also a dark nihilism at play that openly criticises all levels of society, from the superstitious villagers and their reliance on faith and religion, to Coffin Joe’s megalomania as he becomes drunk on his own sense of personal power fuelled by a knowledge that is deeply flawed.” – Kat Ellinger, Sense of Cinema

“Angry at God, in love with himself, and callous to the humanity of women, Coffin Joe is the perfect villain, an encapsulation of toxic masculinity and entitlement, believing himself to be the superman while showing no sign of anything more than a penchant for cruelty. He is also lapsed Catholic guilt and clinging to fairytales of immortality (via bloodline) in order to escape his own mortality, and all of this is depicted in the low-rent but stylish shadows and mists of B-movie Brazil, complete with a colorful excursion into the Inferno that shows us the face of the Devil matches Joe’s. He is either his own punishment, or he is evil incarnate, or both.” – Sally Jane Black, letterboxd

“This is the ultimate distillation of José Mojica Marins’ nightmare aesthetic. While AT MIDNIGHT I’LL TAKE YOUR SOUL—Marins’s debut—set the stage conceptually for his “Coffin Joe” character, it was relatively straight forward in terms of execution. That all changes with this sequel. A multi-layered seizure of rage and lysergic imagery, THIS NIGHT I’LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE presents Coffin Joe as a fully-formed master of evil as he lashes out against class, religion, and all humankind. When the movie switches from black and white to color, we’re treated to one of the most impressive depictions of hell this side of THE BURNING MOON. And that’s why I’ll always consider this movie to be a milestone in horror history.” Bleeding Skull
