Trivia:
The crew refused to shoot a scene because there wasn't enough sunlight. Director 'Jose Mojica Marins' forced them to shoot the scene by pointing a gun at the cameraman. Various crew members have confirmed the story. On one of the rare occasions when he would respond to questions about the incident, Marins claimed that the gun was only a prop. more

Had I started with the first Coffin Joe film (this one) I may not have been interested in the others, but I watched This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse first, which apparently had a higher budget and was more bizarre and to my liking. This one is just OK for a first film, I guess, fake skulls, a fake owl, kind of hokey, if you ask me, but for 1964, still not too bad, and a bit over the top, as I guess all Coffin Joe films are. The plot line is about the same, or perhaps the purpose, the guy wants a kid, a son, to be exact. He doesn't seem to understand that by dressing in black and looking and acting strange that most women are for some reason not attracted to him. We have a 3 Stooges style eye gouging, as though Moe had 2 inch fingernails. We have a drowning, a hanging, and other cheery things, plus an over-acted gypsy witch to boot. This was kind of fun in a dark way but not nearly as good as the 2nd film, now I'll be in search of more and later releases from the wacky Jose Mojica Marins, AKA Coffin Joe, AKA Xe do Caixao. 5 out of 10.
