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 of the iconic 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 lead actor (who happens to also be the director). Well worth the watch, this one garnered a “rent” and a “stream” from Ryan and Tim respectively.
