 EMBODIMENT
OF EVIL (Synapse Films)
94 Minutes. Tons of nasty nudity, gore and extreme violence.
It has been 40 years since last we saw Coffin Joe and we
thought he was dead. Man were we wrong. Seems he has been in an insane
asylum and he’s getting out. Coffin Joe wastes no time in achieving his
goal in finding the perfect bride to sire his male child to continue his
evil.
I think to truly appreciate this film you are going to have
to watch at least one or two of the older ones. It is a bit of a shock
where the older ones, for obvious reasons, used more subtle ways of
getting the horror across, this one jumps right into the gutpile with a
relish that I think Coffin Joe has been waiting a long time for. There is
just so much gore and nudity in this film that it boggles the mind.
The BluRay is adequate with a trailer, a featurette and
footage from the premiere. There is so much missing from this DVD! Where
is my commentary? BluRay is supposed to give you all this room for amazing
extras and when it doesn’t it makes me wonder why they bothered with a
BluRay release.
All Coffin Joe fans will want to watch this. Plain old horror
folk will like the effects, but little else. -Douglas Waltz
