I was impressed to learn that JJM dubbed in another actor's voice for the Ze Do Caixao character. It was done to great effect. Forgive me for using Joe's portguese name. I dont mean to be pretentious, but the Portuguese sounds incredible in these movies, like some kind of baroque form of Spanish. I'm used to the name Ze Do Caixao because the VHS tapes I bought in the 90s from Something Weird Video used that name in the written before Mike Vraney named him Coffin Joe for the American audience.
Anti-censorship, black and white horror. Ahead of it's time.
Well. that escalated.
Very disturbing stories more on the shock factor
Cinematography is superb, the score delightfully ironic, but I was still bored. Two of the three had no surprises for me.
