Much demented laughter and lavish screams of terror decorate Jos Mojica Marins's outr Brazilian horror.

It may tickle a type of hardened horror connoisseur, but most will want a shower after seeing it.

Hardcore horror fans will no doubt be impressed, but the cultural justification for this level of hateful misogyny must be slim indeed.

Parallax View

Imagine Aleister Crowley by way of the Marquis de Sade with a theatrical flamboyance, a voracious blasphemer in a Catholic culture...

PopMatters

Marins turns this final chapter in the character's quest for everlasting life into a Grand Guignol geek show, complete with shocking sequences of vivisection, cannibalism, and sexual sadism.

Rated: 4/5

Beginning in prison, ending in a fairground house of horror, and taking in torture chambers, slums and Purgatory on the way, this is the bad-taste trip of a lifetime.

"Hardcore horror fans will no doubt be impressed, but the cultural justification for this level of hateful misogyny must be slim indeed." Hello? Was the title "Embodiment of Evil" too subtle for you?

It is fun to see how it updates the trashy quality of Coffin Joe's previous films to modern times, but Marins is a terrible actor (what happened to the guy who used to dub him?) and the movie is a ridiculous mess that also exaggerates in its mindless scenes of violence against women.

Back in the 60s a younger 'Coffin Joe' killed and terrorized people. The cinematography of this is light years from the old black and white movies. A much older Coffin Joe is released from jail and spends no time recreating his pack. The movie is pretty gruesome, but the people they killed seamed to deserve it a bit more... some of them at least. The older Coffin Joe is a bit regretful now. No longer is everything so easy. He's haunted by the things he's done. This movie is pretty ADD. Sometimes Joe is sad and conflicted and haunted by his past, sometimes he's pretty happy to keep killing and moving on.

Uma das muitas facetas do cinema nacional. O melhor do trash. Só José Mojica poderia nos presentear com tal pérola e causar sensações tão diversas no espectador.
