    Very weak and badly made, dispite of a few scary moments. Encarnacao do Demonio, is one of the worst of Mojica and Coffin Joe. Rotten.

    God, I loves me some Coffin Joe. Ole CJ is back and still in search of a woman to birth him a superior child. Along the way we see a vision of Hell/Purgatory, CJ's torture chamber and an insane priest/WWE wrestler. Awesome stuff.

    Apparently a sequel to a couple of other films from the 60's (various clips are shown as flashbacks in the film which is weird because they're all in black and white). You don't need to have seen the others to follow this: very simply Coffin joe is back! It was hardly worth the w... read moreait though. There's some terrible acting here, especially from Coffin Joe himself and the mad monk is simply hilarious. This could be a comedy if not for the scenes of torture that permeate the film. For those who have been waiting for the rat scene from American Psycho to be put on film this is for you. Otherwise steer clear.

    I'm not a huge horror movie fan, but it was cool how the older films were referenced. I wouldn't see this film again though. Once was enough.
  • September 6, 2009
    I thought this was going to be more of a novelty movie never having seen previous Coffin Joe movies and only reading about them. This was more of a true horror film than I expected and kept my interest throughout. It was the epitomy of good vs. evil, the reason I like horror mo... read morevies in the first place.

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

Bill Gibron, 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. Full Review

Derek Malcolm, This is London

Much demented laughter and lavish screams of terror decorate José Mojica Marins's outré Brazilian horror. Full Review

David Jenkins, Time Out

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

Matt Glasby, Film4

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. Full Review

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

Peter Bradshaw

Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

For delirious offensiveness and imaginative grossout, this film deserves a congratulatory goblet of gore; and the surreal scenes of damnation have real chutzpah. Full Review

Elliott Noble, Sky Movies

With a script of pure gibberish stitching the pieces together, it's as though Ed Wood Jr, Clive Barker and Hieronymous Bosch had too much absinthe one night and decided to make a home movie. Full Review

Matt Glasby, Total Film

Like a Vincent Price film for the torture porn generation, albeit closer to the grand guignol of Dr Phibes than the genuine distress of Witchfinder General. Full Review

David Edwards

David Edwards, Daily Mirror [UK]

A horror with a sense of its own absurdity, it's a cult classic in the making. Full Review
