I've seen a couple more Brazilian Horror films: At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1964) and This Night I'll POssess Your Corpse (1967), both very interesting old school horror films, very creative even though they obviously had very small budgets. Looking forward to seeing Encarnacao do Demonio (2008)!<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-32875615696416227492012-06-14T15:38:16.151-07:002012-06-14T15:38:16.151-07:00Hello, Film Connoisseur!

I'm brazilian and the title actually refers to the name of the city where the action is set: Porto Alegre. Thus, "Porto dos Mortos" can be translated to "Porto of the Dead". It's almost like if we had a zombie set in Bay City (MI) called "Bay of the Dead". That's preety much the spirit of the original title. Glad to see that people overseas are able to see our horror movies.<br />Best wishes!<br />Leopoldo TauffenbachLeopoldo Tauffenbachnoreply@blogger.com
