It’s about viewing that challenges you and that is not like what anyone else is offering.

January 15: Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe: Part One

Cultural icon, anti-establishment statement, sadistic lord of carnival horror! With his iconic long fingernails, top hat and cape, Zé do Caixão (Coffin Joe) was the creation of Brazilian filmmaker José Mojica Marins, who wrote, directed and starred in a series of outrageous movies from 1964 to 2008.

An unholy undertaker in search of the perfect woman to propagate his bloodline, Zé do Caixão made his screen debut with the first Brazilian-produced horror film, At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul. Three years later, his quest would continue in This Night I’ll Possess Your Corpse, with Zé embarking on an even more brutal campaign of terror, aided and abetted by his hunchbacked assistant.

The Strange World of Coffin Joe, meanwhile, is an anthology of three short horror films featuring a strange dollmaker, a necrophiliac balloon seller with a foot fetish, and a psychotic professor involved in sadistic rituals. Sex, perversion and sadism abound in The Awakening of the Beast as a psychiatrist experiments on four volunteers with LSD in this surreal examination of 60s drug culture.

Diverging from horror toward satirical black comedy, The End of Man sees a naked stranger emerge from the sea to perform miracles in a nearby town and become a modern messiah whose deeds will affect the whole world.

Newly restored from the best available elements and packed with new and archival extras, Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe is a love letter to one of the great iconoclasts of horror, who forged his films in the face of military dictatorship and religious censorship to become Brazil’s national Boogeyman.

Titles Include: At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul, This Night I’ll Possess Your Corpse, The End of Man

JANUARY TITLES – IN DEPTH

FROM JANUARY 5: THEY CALL IT RED CEMETERY

Among the crosses of an old cemetery, two outlaws have a dispute over honor, companionship and greed.
FROM JANUARY 15: AT MIDNIGHT I’LL TAKE YOUR SOUL

Coffin Joe terrorizes a small peasant community in his search for the perfect woman to bear him a child.

THIS NIGHT I’LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE

Coffin Joe is still looking for the perfect woman to give birth to a son of his, and, cleared of the past crimes in At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul, keeps terrorising the people in his small town with his iconoclast and sadistic practices.

THE STRANGE WORLD OF COFFIN JOE

Coffin Joe presents an anthology film which tells three macabre tales, all delightfully demented, perverted and grotesque.

THE END OF MAN

Stark naked man comes out from the sea and begins to walk the streets, interfering in daily episodes, always in search of justice. He names himself Finis Hominis (The End of Man, in Latin), and soon becomes sort of a modern Messiah, capable of performing miracles. An adulterous woman and a cheated husband are among his most faithful followers, as well as a group of hippies.

THE AWAKENING OF THE BEAST

Psychiatrist experiments LSD on 4 volunteers, to investigate Coffin Joe’s influence over them. Each patient presents a different reaction, involving sex, perversion and sadism.
