Synapse Films drags Coffin Joe Back From Hell (review)

Brazilian cult figure Jose Mojica Marins' and his Sadeian alter ego Coffin Joe (Ze de Caixao) search for the perfect woman to produce a superior human being free of moral fetters in the first two entries of THE COFFIN JOE TRILOGY.  In AT MIDNIGHT I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL, gravedigger Coffin Joe murders his barren wife and his best friend to get to lovely Terezinha, but she kills herself and promises supernatural retribution from a god Joe does not believe in.  In THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE, Coffin Joe returns to his frightened village and sets about looking for the perfect woman.  One of his failures curses him and his quest, casting a pall on his seemingly perfect union with the mayor's twisted daughter.
