In 2008 Zé Do Caixão returned to screens in Embodiment of Evil, the official third film in the ‘Coffin Joe Trilogy’ which began with At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul in 1964 and continued with This Night I’ll Possess Your Corpse in 1967.
Released from the Mental Health Wing of São Paulo State Penitentiary after forty years, the sadistic undertaker is back on the streets, haunted by ghostly visions and spirits of past victims but still set upon the goal that sent him to prison in the first place: finding a woman who can give him the perfect child. Aided and abetted by his hunchbacked servant Bruno, this time nothing will stop the continuation of his blood!
An incredible swansong for José Mojica Marins, Embodiment of Evil was rapturously received around the world ensuring that while Marins might well be mortal, Coffin Joe will live forever!
