Considered by many to be “Brazil’s Freddy Krueger,” the horror icon known as Coffin Joe was played by the late José Mojica Marins, who wrote, directed and starred in a series of outrageous movies from 1964 to 2008. They’re collected together for an Arrow Video Blu-ray set that was announced earlier this year, fittingly titled Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe.
The 6-disc Blu-ray set will be available on Blu-ray and available to stream on Arrow from January 15, 2024, and you can exclusively watch the official trailer down below!
“Newly restored from the best available elements and packed with extras, Inside the Mind of Coffin Joe is a love letter to one of the great iconoclasts of horror who forged his films in the face of military dictatorship and religious censorship to become Brazil’s national Boogeyman.”

Above: Something Must Break
International Film Festival Rotterdam 2014
Tiger Awards Competition
Afscheid van de Maan/Farewell to the Moon by Dick Tuinder (Netherlands, 2014, world premiere)
Visual artist Dick Tuinder’s second feature revolves around 12-year-old Dutch and his family in the hot summer of 1972, when the Americans launch their last mission to the moon. Tuinder contrasts the tragicomic adventures of his protagonists with the lost illusions of that transitional year, in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and approaching oil crisis. Iffr showed many of Tuinder’s short films, as well as his first feature Winterland (2009).
Anatomy of a Paper Clip by Akira Ikeda (Japan, 2013, European premiere)
Akira Ikeda's crazy and funny second feature is a dark fairytale revolving around Kogure, a paperclip bender in a paperclip factory, a man without characteristics and a stoical loser. One day he finds a butterfly in his flat. She becomes his wife,...

[Our thanks to Fernando Verissimo for the following review.]
I was lucky enough to catch an avant-premiere of the new Coffin Joe film, Encarnação do Demônio (Embodiment of Evil), that took place in Rio last week. José Mojica Marins, Mr. Coffin Joe himself, was there to present the screening, as were his cast and crew, and producers Paulo Sacramento and Fabiano Gullane.
Although the general feeling was one of celebration, since the audience consisted mostly of guests, the expectations towards the film were incredibly high – and there was plenty of reason for that. First of all, this is Mojica’s first film in more than two decades, his first horror feature in thirty years and the first film in the Coffin Joe series in forty years. Second, the screening took place in the same day the film was announced as an official selection of the next Venice Film Festival – an achievement that helps to raise Mojica’s reputation as...
