Shotshot S Long live COFFIN JOE. a must watch in part of the JOSÉ MOJICA MARINS trilogy. For gods sake, how can you call yourself a horror buff if you haven't watched this or the 3 in tow? It's literally in part of the first Portuguese horror films. Get to it, ya dummy! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Although not as original as his first, this second Coffin Joe movie benefits from a bigger budget and a man who figured out how to make a movie. Joe is a bet less violent, a bit hornier and the religious stuff is further over the top, but it's still a satisfying blend of gore, perversion and just plain lunacy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Films like this are the reason movies are made. Truly fantastic stuff here, and a brilliant example of how to make a tiny budget go a long, long way. Most of the Coffin Joe films range from mediocre to terrible, but this one and its immediate predecessor, At Midnight I'll Steal Your Soul, are lunatic masterpieces. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A criative, trash, gore and surrealist horror film, that proves Coffin Joe as one of the biggest killers of cinema history. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Quality psychotronic madness from Josà (C) Mojica Marins!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Much better than the first installment...although a product of its time, the movie seems to blend cheesy characters and acting...along with its typical black and white spooky settings but manages to show true violence, sadism, horror and surprisingly tight writing and plot twists...not to mention a very unique transition into color for an even more unique vision of hell. If you like to root for the bad guy...and love seeing women covered in spiders...men getting crushed by rocks...axes in the head...demons torturing doomed souls and the mad ramblings of an arrogant, blasphemous psychotic then this is the movie for you. Jose Marins had a style like no other of his time...and considering how much trouble he went through to even get these movies made let alone past the Brazilian censors...its incredible what he could come up with. Coffin Joe is a pure brazlian horror icon that existed long before Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger or even Norman Bates appeared on screen.
