Dave and Spencer finally finish off the Coffin Joe Trilogy with the final instalment of the Brazilian horror series with the 2008 film, Embodiment of Evil. Jose Mojica Marins (Coffin Joe and the filmmaker of these movies) defiantly looked at the horror film resurgence of the 2000s with the torture like flicks of Hostel and Saw along with the remakes/sequels like Hills Have Eyes, Halloween, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and thought this is the perfect time for Coffin Joe to finally return and show the kids who's boss. It really continues on from part 1 and 2, so make sure you catch up on those. But this one is really an interesting ride of bizarre scenes, both hilarious and disturbing all at the same time. While retaining the classic Joe formula.

Plot Overview
Embodiment of Evil (2008) is a Brazilian horror film directed by José Mojica Marins. It is the final installment in the Coffin Joe trilogy, following At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1964) and This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse (1967).
The film follows Coffin Joe (Zé do Caixão), a sadistic undertaker obsessed with finding the "perfect woman" to bear his superior offspring. After serving a 40-year prison sentence for his past crimes, Coffin Joe is released back into society. Unrepentant and still obsessed with his twisted goal, he resumes his reign of terror. With the help of loyal followers, he kidnaps and tortures women to test their physical and mental strength in his pursuit of the ideal mother for his child.
The film blends graphic violence, psychological horror, and social commentary. It explores themes of obsession, atheism, and the dark side of human nature, with Coffin Joe’s philosophical musings playing a significant role. The movie is known for its extreme gore and unsettling atmosphere, earning its place as a standout in Brazilian horror cinema.
