Once seen, never forgotten, At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul, is the first Brazilian-produced horror film.
Zé do Caixão is the malevolent undertaker of a small Brazilian town, plaguing its superstitious townsfolk with existentialist lectures and violent mayhem! To prove his superiority to humankind, Zé searches for the perfect woman to bear him a perfect child. Nothing and no-one will get in the way of his quest to propagate this cursed bloodline and seal Zé's only chance at immortality!
Writer, director and star José Mojica Marins made such an indelible impression in this debut as Zé do Caixão that their names became synonymous, defying military dictatorship and religious censorship to be embraced as Brazil’s national Boogeyman.
This screening includes a recorded introduction from curator Paul Farrell.
