original Brazilian/Poretuguese title O CEMITERIO DAS ALMAS PERDIDAS

director Rodrigo Aragão
starring Renato Chocair · Carol Aragão · Diego Garcias · Allana Lopes · Francisco Gaspar · Caio Macedo

    

Corrupted by a demonic power, a Jesuit priest and his followers begin a reign of bloody carnage in colonial Brazil. Eventually, they are cursed to 'live forever' under the graves of a cemetery. But now, centuries later, they have discovered a way to break free. These undead creatures [vampires?] soon challenge the vulnerable castle community as well as a traveling circus and jungle cannibals. The plot is stuffed with every possible horror element, but ultimately this is an eye-popping, ultra-violence gore fest with significant sociological concerns smoldering at its base.

Since his first film (MUD ZOMBIES), director Rodrigo Aragao has become the major driving force for horror cinema in Brazil. His productions are immediately reminiscent of the Italian genre cinema of the '70s and '80s. The opening credits also give recognition to the late José Mojica Marins [Ao Mestre Jose Mojica Marins], "To the Master Jose Mojica Marins."
