After
a surreal, acid-trippy opening segment [featuring a colorful voodoo
ceremony with semi-naked girls and bongo-slapping guys] a coffin is
opened, presenting Jose Mojica Marins (as Coffin Joe?). The man is brought
back to life. 'Fade to black.' He is now running a hotel where a mixed
group of people - ranging from hippies to gamblers to killers - show
up and experience a nightmarish yet sexually pleasurable evening.
