Synopsis

After a decades-long absence the iconic Coffin Joe returns with THE EMBODIMENT OF EVIL! The Satanic undertaker Coffin Joe – his life marked by a potent blend of Catholic superstition, Brazilian black magic and an unflinching fascination with the outer reaches of sadomasochism – has been freed from prison. But his obsession with achieving immortality by spawning the perfect child remains as strong as ever. All that is needed is the perfect vessel to bear the child, cooperation not necessarily required. Despite the long years away, creator Jose Mojica Marins has lost none of his raw charisma or ability to shock. This one is very definitely not for the faint of heart.
