Episode 139 - At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul

This week we traveled to Brazil to watch their first horror film ever! It’s a wild one, too. “At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul” was independently made and ushered in a new era of horror for the country, along with the introduction to who would become an iconic character in Coffin Joe. The film dives right into the macabre “Poe-esque” morality tale structure, and was made that much better by a wild performance from the actor portraying Coffin Joe (who happens to also be the director). Well worth the watch, this one garnered a “rent” and a “stream” from Ryan and Tim respectively.
