Esta Noite Encarnarei no Teu Cadáver aka This Night I Will Possess Your Corpse (José Mojica Marins, 1967)

Sequel to the At Midnight I Will Take Your Soul. It continues right where we left Coffin Joe because it turns out he's not dead. He just passed out during his final hallucination and is well and of course still mean fucker ready to continue his quest to find worthy mother for his supreme son who will keep his bloodline alive.

This one is very similar to the prequel regarding style but more ambitious as it runs for half an hour longer. Story is more complex and also Ze's character is more developed. He's still mean misogynistic sadistic fucker full of contempt, but now he's  also more manipulative and has hunchbacked assistant called Bruno.

Two outstanding scenes without doubt are releasing bunch of snakes on the group of imprisoned women (and he watches this very graphic slaughter while fucking another one) and  especially nightmarish portrayal of hell. Shot in color, I think even Jodorowsky would be proud of.

Not as good as its prequel but still mastepriece!

8/10
