Embodiment of Evil
The return of the master of horror
Directed by José Mojica Marins
Produced by Gullane Entretenimento, Olhos de cão
A deeply disturbing horror-thriller about a released serial killer haunted by supernatural visions, driven by obsessive delusion and steeped in Brazilian gothic atmosphere.
Released from the Mental Health Wing of São Paulo State Penitentiary after forty years, the sadistic undertaker Zé do Caixão is back on the streets, haunted by ghostly visions and spirits of past victims but still set upon the goal that sent him to prison in the first place: finding a woman who can give him the perfect child.
