This is the follow-up to At Midnight I Will Take Your Soul (1964). It picks in exactly were the 1964 stopped and Coffin Joe is back searching for the perfect woman to give him a child. This time he enters a town full of beautiful women who he captures and is torturing to see which one stands the fear. What an improvement this one has. There's more gore (for the time being) added and we also see some nudity here and there for the first time entering in Coffin's flicks. A thing that was to become common. Also shot in black and white it do has a surprise when Coffin is being dragged to hell. Suddenly the movie is shot in colours and also here we see the use of green and red lighting, things we see later being used in Giallo's. The use of real animals also makes it a bit creepier. Just see girls being attacked by spiders and snakes. The only thing that I had a bit of problems with is the length of this flick. It could have been a bit shorter here and there but don't get me wrong. It's still worth seeing.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

Zé do Caixão (José Mojica Marins) survives and is absolved in court from his crimes. He moves to another small town, seeking out the perfect woman to deliver his son. Zé do Caixão and his deformed hunchback minion Bruno (Jose Lobo) abduct six women from the village and he submits them to a creepy experiment, trying to find the future mother of his offspring to keep alive his bloodline. The pregnant Jandira curses him and only Marcia (Nadia Freitas) survives, but Zé do Caixão concludes that she is not a superior woman. When Zé do Caixão sees the newcomer Laura (Tina Wohlers), who is the daughter of the powerful Coronel, he concludes that she is a superior woman and adequate to deliver his offspring. Meanwhile the Coronel asks his henchman Truncador (Antonio Fracari) to hire a gang of criminals to eliminate Zé do Caixão. But the undertaker seems to have a deal with the devil and never dies. However Laura dies with her unborn son and the population joins to expel him from their lands."Esta Noite Encarnarei no Teu Cadáver" is the perfect sequel to "À Meia- Noite Levarei Sua Alma". This creepy low-budget black and white film is more ambition than the first one and blends colors in the journey of Zé do Caixão to hell. It is also supported by a good story, performances, effects, dialogs with blasphemy and gore. The contradictory conclusion with the atheist character summoning God does not spoil the film. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Esta Noite Encarnarei no Teu Cadáver" ("This Night I Will Incarnate Your Corpse")

"This Night, I'll Possess Your Corpse" is an even better sequel to an incredible film.**SPOILERS**Found after being left for dead, Ze do Caixao, (Jose Mojica Marins) is released for his crimes and returns to his hometown of frightened villagers. Still desperate for a son, he and his hunchbacked assistant Bruno, (Jose Lobo) kidnap six women from the village and launch a series of tortures on them, with the intention of using the one most suitable to him for his quest. Eventually deciding on Laura, (Tina Wohlers) to be his bride, which further angers the town against him. Realizing he has accidentally killed a pregnant woman, he dreams of Hell and shown that he will be damned, but when he learns that he is a father, the town has had enough and sets out to kill him once and for all.The News: This is the way to do a sequel, with a really entertaining and full-on experience. This one really amps up the exploitation angle from the first one, with several quite sadistic and ingenious set-pieces that are just fun to watch. The spider torture in the bedroom is quite hard to beat, with their slow entrance into the room through a hidden panel in the wall going on for a long period of time. The loving gazes of them slowly crawling over the bodies, carrying over the whole room from one end to another showing each of the victims being in peril from them giving it a fully suspenseful feel to it. Once the realization dawns and the threat is known, seeing where the spiders are on them makes it just the icing on the scene. The dungeon scenes are close behind, as there's no shortage of sadistic scenes in it. The pit of the damned, where the unlucky ones are thrown in and fed to a glut of poisonous snakes is quite tortuous. What pushes it beyond is the small patch in the room that is part of the room above, and the entire sequence is played out as the observers make love to each other with the screaming and cursing from them below in the background. Quite ingenious and totally cruel. This also decides to include some bloodshed into it, with some really tortuous kills. One has their head crushed by a falling rock, there's an ax in the head, razors slice open both sides of the neck, acid burns skin off the face, and a thoroughly agonizing strangulation. This is bloody when it really wants to be. Of course, the major highlight is Zé's nightmare of a trip to Hell and what a psychedelic Hell it is as for the next ten minutes, the film switches to full-color. It really has to be seen to be believed. In this nightmare he stumbles through a Day-Glo cavernous pit in which snow falls while we're witness to muscle-bound demons whip, pitchfork and torture nude people melded into the stalagmites and walls as the sinners writhe and wail out for mercy, all for the merriment of Satan. He sees all these terrible sights and becomes appalled, since this is the refutation of his atheistic beliefs. When he comes to the throne of Hell and finds the ruler seated there, it's too much for him and he's jolted out of sleep screaming maniacally. There's no end to the amount of praise that scene can endure, and is really the highlight of the whole film in every way. Just as the original ended with the spirits of the damned come back to haunt him, this one does it too, but in a much more grander way that is quite entertaining. After learning of his failure, he goes out into the cemetery and begins ranting about the futile efforts of the church to stop him. Plagued by a vision of a past victim who claimed to come back for him, he again claims the failure of the church and heads off into the woods, where he falls prey to himself in front of the villagers come to fight him off. As in the ending of the first one, when the villagers decide to take up arms against him, they learn that even en mass, they have no power over the sinister undertaker. It will be his own actions that undo him. The cemetery is not as spooky and creepy as the first one, but it still works here. Much of his ranting against the church has been stripped away, but there's still enough here to know that it's the same experience over again. A fine example of an entertaining and superior sequel.The Final Verdict: Just as thought-provoking, entertaining and horrific as the first one, this is the way sequels should be. There's really no complaints amongst this one, and it's a really fun time all around. Seek this one out immediately and give it a watch, no matter what kind of horror fan you are.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity and a couple quick, mild sex scenes

THIS NIGHT I WILL POSSESS YOUR SOUL was recently shown on cable, and I must say that all it's hype and good reviews don't match with the final product. The movie is ok, it has some good direction, o.k. art direction and cinematography, but I guess that the fear factor is not present here. The movie centers mainly on the graveyard where all the events take place; the graveyard is very creepy. The main characters look spooky and disturbed. That may be a good thing because this movie is kind of long so you get used to these creepy characters. I don't recommend it because it'd be a waste or time for any horror fan, I guess that this movie tried to stand out of the pile of horror italian movies from it's time...1/10 Burn it! Flush the ashes
