Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adriano Stuart was a key figure in Brazilian pornochanchada cinema, and this represents his bizarre attempt at horror-comedy. The Guinea cod reference plays on Portuguese anxieties about decolonization.
The film's 3.3 TMDB rating with only 6 votes suggests most viewers were probably the director's relatives. It remains nearly impossible to find outside Portuguese bootleg circles.
