An anthology film (eight shorts) honoring the Boca do Lixo ("Mouth of Garbage") film production in the downtown area of São Paulo, Brazil.
A group of kids embarks in a macabre adventure, full of characters from the Brazilian popular imaginary - the werewolf, a witch, a ghost, monsters and The Saci.
The legendary Jose Mojica Marins, along with Marcelo Colaiacovo and Nilson Primitivo created this mind blowing experimental horror film. After two heart attacks in 2014, the Brazilian master is back with new footage and original script. These rare images were discovered by Marcelo Colaiacovo during his thirteen years of researching the Coffin Joe archives. It was during this time that Colaiacovo discovered several film cans full of unprocessed 35mm material from the 1970s - 1990s, some of which was used to create this short film. Using an experimental processing technique with assorted chemicals in his Resistência Filmes laboratory, Colaiacovo and Nilson Primitivo (King of the Brazilian Underground) worked together to ressurect these treasures to life.
Coffin Joe terrorizes a small peasant community in his search for the perfect woman to bear him a child.
Coffin Joe opens a hostel which will be run by himself and five other carefully chosen people. The hostel soon fills up with dozens of guests including partying hippies and gambling gangsters, who soon begin to suspect that this hostel is far from normal....

But all is not how it might first appear.

Two friends travel into the Amazon Rainforest, where they find a hidden kingdom ruled by a bloodthirsty sultan. One of José Mojica Marins' first efforts into filmmaking, shot in 16mm when he was only 12 years-old.
Horror-metal is definitely an acquired taste. The band Necrophagia is blasting through each of these short horror vignettes and you really have to appreciate metal not to get totally turned off. The vignettes feature mutilation, zombies, and lots of blood and gore, some of it really disgusting. Director Ryan Nicholson is better known for his make-up artistry, and been nominated and won an award for makeup in "Andromeda" and "Stargate SG-1". Director Vince D'Amato has only done direct-to-video films. Jenna Jameson was only on for a second or two saying "Necrophagia Rules." The things I sit through to see Paul Naschy. His character in the film was just window dressing, but the interview in the extras was good.
