martin f A weird movie. I know that the titular character is more famous than his movie and I understand why. Coffin Joe despite not being a great actor here dares to play his over-the-top, cruel and blasphemous persona screaming against God and doing despicable things. Knowing that it was one of the first Brazilian movie, it's surprising how provocative (at least for the time) it is and even if it won't be as effective today Coffin Joe won't let you indifferent. It's mean-spirited and gore. The story is where the film falls flat with not much things to tell and some pretty random moment and characters that feels like filler. There are some special effects there that while a little cheap are really effective with the creepy and unique atmosphere. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Marins is a great director and creates some striking images here, hypnotizing us with his magnetic presence as the cruel Coffin Joe while the film's dialogue (despite the generally weak acting) makes this a memorable Brazilian horror movie that should be rediscovered and remastered. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliantly atmospheric and ahead of it's time in so many ways, it's a truly wonderful bizarre creepy little horror film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This is low-budget madness at its finest. Coffin Joe chews up the cardboard scenery as the meanest undertaker in town. The gore is effective, the film short enough and just coherent enough to keep me watching. I can't wait to see part two. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review jack c grotesque, brutal, campy, illogical, arguably both pro AND anti-woman (but also just as arguably anti-religion, or anti-asshole-atheists who laugh in the face of, um, witches), surreal, and fun when it's not too weird. also gotta hand it to the director/star for the Day of the Dead finale, which bumps up this rating a full star Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Brazilian undertaker "Coffin Joe" eats meat on Friday, terrorizes the townspeople, and plots to steal his best friend's fiancee; a gypsy witch is the only person in town who dares to defy him. Like Alex in CLOCKWORK ORANGE, but smarter, Coffin Joe is a terrifying villain because he freely chooses evil---and because he gets such pure pleasure out of other people's suffering.
