It took more than thirty years, but Coffin Joe was finally able to complete his story that began in At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul and This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse. Creator and star José Mojica Marins felt that since he compromised on the sending of the second film, he was cursed. Now, he could finally tell the story.
After being released from a mental ward, Coffin Joe is taken care of by his most loyal servant Bruno (Rui Rezende), who along with four fanatics has been waiting for the return of the master. Of course, his order is simple: bring the perfect woman and continue the blood.
There are so many women and so little time. Like eugenist Dr. Hilda (Cléo De Páris), who is drugged and hallucinates that Coffin Joe is feeding her one of her ass cheeks. Or a young gypsy woman named Elena (Nara Sakarê) who willingly gives herself to him.
But all is not snakes and spiders in Brazil. Coronel Claudiomiro Pontes (Jece Valadão), a police captain blinded by Coffin Joe when he escaped his fate at the end of This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse - young Joe is played by superfan Raymond Castile - and Father Eugênio (Milhem Cortaz), a priest who is the son of Dr. Rudolfo from At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul, have joined forced to destroy the undertaker forever.
Coffin Joe is also dealing with the ghosts of his many victims, including Terezinha and Lenita from At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul and Laura from This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse. He's also been cursed by Elena's witch aunts, which turns the opportunity to make love to Elena into a trip through a gigantic intestine into a meeting with the Mystifier (José Celso Martinez Corrêa), who shows Coffin Joe purgatory and Hell, as well as a vision of his death.
As the police close in, Joe escapes through the woods and into an amusement park where he kills the cop but is impaled through the heart by the priest. He's convinced that he's killed Coffin Joe, but you can't kill an idea. His shadow comes loose from his body to chase the priest while Elena mounts the dying body of our, well, hero and his hands, trembling in the throes of death, hold her breasts.
Coffin Joe's funeral should be sad, but as we see the women throw roses at his grave, so many of them have continued the blood and are filled with his heirs. The gravestone is shattered by lightning and multiple faces of Coffin Joe appear within it.
For being seventy years old. José Mojica Marins in no way took it easy in this. It's the bloodiest of all the films and the most complete. Not the best - I really think This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse is incredible - but I had a total blast watching it. It's a return that is in no way unwelcome or one that feels like it doesn't belong.
