At Midnight I Will Take Your Soul Director: Book cinema tickets It’s only taken forty-five years or thereabouts, but Horrorthon is delighted to present this legendary 1964 Brazilian horror classic, the first in writer/director/leading man Jose Mojica Marins’ formidable Coffin Joe trilogy, a heady tale of small-town passions run seriously amok. Marins’ iconic Coffin Joe is a demented undertaker with a seriously philosophical bent, a supernatural satyr who terrorises a tiny religious community in search of the perfect woman to bear him a child. If At Midnight I Will Take Your Soul plays like a demented fever dream, it’s possibly because the story came to Marins during a serious depression-related illness; legend has it that he only played the role himself because his leading man fell through at the last minute. Coffin Joe is still alive and kicking only last year, Jose released a new Joe movie, Embodiment Of Evil, to considerable acclaim. Acquaint yourself with the deliciously strange original pronto.
