Blast to the past with a grandfather of South American horror cinema José Mojica Marins, and his character Coffin Joe. It's safe to say, they don't make horror movies like this anymore. While it is a pleasant travel on a memory lane for many, it's no revelation - plot is paper-thin, and attempts at poetic artistry are laughable. There are plenty of gore, including some real body modding and piercing, which aren't as scary as they are interesting. Worthwhile just for being wretched in an old way.

I'll admit, I had my reservations. But just with the opening credits I turned around and had a very good feeling about it. It's got everything that was right about the originals, but now with the censors out of the way Coffin Joe is able to fully indulge himself in all of his urges. The production itself is very good with high standards. The only real problem I had in it was with Marins' own performance but overall when he's on he's on, and most of the time he's on. Highly Recommended.

The story is pretty good even if the plot sucks. Coffin Joe in this movie just reminded me of Dom DeLuise and I couldn't take him seriously, The flashbacks worked because he was a more believable villain when he was younger. The movie as a whole was interesting and a little boring but I liked how their were no real good guys in this movie and the end with all the women was a high point.

Avouons le, Zé do Caixão semble plus gâteux que terrible dans cette suite. Si on peut saluer la tentative de garder une atmosphère gothique, cela marche mal dans le brésil des années 2000. Et l'ensemble manque de toute façon clairement d'inspiration.

What a wild, nasty ride. Coffin Joe spent thirty years in prison -- killed thirty inmates while in there -- and now's back as an old crazy evil man haunted by visions of the past -- mostly by people he killed -- and police brutality of today's Brazil -- cops literally murder little favela kids, just like in real life. First two seem more well-imagined and put together, but this serves as a pretty gory and fun conclusion to the trilogy, bringing Mojica's unique vision of horror to new audiences.
