Quick Hit

The Strange World of Coffin Joe has a clean hook and some atmosphere but not enough follow-through, which keeps it well below the line. There’s some life in it, but not enough.

Full Take

There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s enough to push it into BAD.
