Here are the reasons to watch This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse:
1)The title. Whichever way you translate it, it's awesome. 2)A crazy Jodorowsky-esque hell sequence painted in garish colours in the midst of the black-and-white film. 3)Hot Brazilian chicks whose nipples are constantly visible through their clothing 4)Uncomfortable religious subtext 5)The way that, possibly because of (4), the film makes you actually feel sorry for its monstrous protagonist even as he continues doing awful things. The character drama, while not fully developed, is actually surprisingly nuanced and compelling for a film of this type, and there are some moments of ambiguity where you have to choose between rooting for the freakish outsider or the angry mob.
If none of these appeal to you, you probably won't like this movie. It's okay. The world needs lame people too.
