The best of Coffin Joe? A horror christmas tale

Ambiguities between José Mojica Marins/Coffin Joe, which had been well explored in the Awakening of the Beast, reappear here in a vey interesting way. Is he more like Dracula or like Van Helsing? Very atmospheric horror thriller, that increases its darkness as it advances, in a well built creepy christmas tale. Possessions, rituals, pacts, canibalism, torture, paranormal events... disturbing scenes happen in this film that does not share the psychodelic innovative edition of Mojica's first horror black and white movies, but succeeds as a very colourful and solid product of the genre. Well filmed, with a great casting (top level actors instead of the amateur ones) and good script, it is probably the best of Mojica's films I have watched so far!
