the strange world of coffin joe (1968)


aka O Estranho Mundo de Zé do Caixão.
"What is nothing?"
A film made up of three episodes, the Dollmaker, Perversion, and Ideology. The first follows the burglary on a dollmakers house, where we find out how he achieves the lifelike eyes in his toys. Perversion is the tale of a young man's obsession with a beautiful and unobtainable woman, and how far his obsession will take him. Finally we have a tale about Professor Odez who invites a TV journalist home to prove the existance of love.
Marins grim, grusome and gory take on the horror anthology, where he throws in everything from rape, to cannibalism, and necrophilia, via a smattering of S & M.
