Wikipedia article




'Hallucinations of a Deranged Mind ' is a 1978 Brazilian horror film directed by Jos Mojica Marins. Marins is also known by his alter ego Z do Caixo (in English, Coffin Joe). The film features Coffin Joe as the central character, although it is not part of the "Coffin Joe trilogy".

Plot



The story is built around a montage of scenes that were omitted or censored from four of Marins' earlier films: 'Awakening of the Beast', 'This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse', 'The Bloody Exorcism of Coffin Joe' and 'The Strange World of Coffin Joe'. Marins filmed approximately 35 minutes of new scenes, also adding the characters to the plot. Marins portrays himself as well as the character of Coffin Joe in the film.

The story is built around Dr. Hamlton, a psychiatrist who is terrorized by nightmares in which Coffin Joe tries to steal his wife. His colleagues decide to seek medical help with the assistance of filmmaker Jose Mojica Marins (appearing as himself), who tries to reassure Dr. Hamlton that Coffin Joe is merely a creation of his mind.
