My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1964)

José Mojica Marins becomes Coffin Joe in a Brazilian horror film about an evil undertaker who kills people and seems to enjoy it.   He wants to find a woman to bear him a child but ends up leaving a trail of dead people.   Yet the forces of nature will have their justice of him and the spirits will have their revenge, even if he laughs in their face denying their existence.  While dated, his vileness is still very horrific and you can see why this first of a trilogy became a classic.  B.
