Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

MovieGuy01 I found the film Macabrae to be a very strange film, and quite disturbing as well. A New Orleans housewife leaves her daughter and son home alone so he can go and meet her lover. While driving with him, she receives a call that her son has died. She drives rushing to her house which results in a horrible accident. Her lover dies and she is sent to a mental institution to recover from the trauma. Upon her release from the mental institution a year later she moves into the boarding house where they would stay together. The landlord of the house has died and her blind son is left to maintain the house. he becomes attracted to her more each day then suddenly he feels that something is not quite right. he keeps hearing noises coming from the upstairs bedroom, almost as if someone was with the woman, this carries on for a few nights then he gets suspicious after going in to the kitchen. and finds the freezer door locked up, what he does not know is that she is carrying on her affair with hear dead lovers severed head!! this film i found to be disturbing in parts but was an enjoyable film

ma-cortes The events happen in New Orlans where a middle-aged woman named Jane Baker(Bernice Stegers)is traumatized by a car crash in which died his adulterous lover Fred Kellerman(Robert Posse) and she's interned into a mental hospital. Years later she moves at New Orleans boarding house whose proprietary is a blind young named Robert Duval(Stanko Molnar). The situation comes towards an incredible final, genuinely highlights plenty of horror, terror, quirky sex and macabre happening which arise some memorably horrific set-pieces.The film is reportedly based on real deeds.This macabre final packs tension, mystery,chills, thrills and scabrous scenes on its ending part.Gloomy and sinister plot with final'tour of force' is written by Pupi Avati, also terror movies director .First feature picture by Lamberto Bava is surprisingly made and startling visual content of his shockers. His camera stalks in sinister style throughout the Jane's room, Robert's room, up-stars and down-stars . Strikingly shot for the most part in a traditional mansion from New Orleans and are also well photographed streets, slums, wheel-ship and cemetery of the city . Very atmospheric color with shades of ochre and deep translucently orange-red by Franco Delli Colli , cameraman of ¨Last man on Earth, and Django kill¨. Compelling direction by Lamberto Bava, a terror films expert, such as he proved in ¨Demons 1, 2, A blade in the dark, Shark: red on the ocean¨, though today he only directs television movies : ¨Fantaghiro and following, Caribbean pirates¨ among others. Acceptable and passable atmospheric film-making from genre master Bava's son. A must see for horror fans

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~ I've always loved the first two Demons films and wanted to see more of Lamberto Bava's work. So far, I've not been terribly impressed. The Demons franchise may be his only great movies. Macabre does not do much to change my opinion. It definitely is one of the most offbeat movies I've seen though. There's not much horror to it, but there are horrifying scenes. I'm going to get into some heavy spoilers here because I have to stress just how bizarre this one is. The story is about a woman who is cheating on her husband. The second her husband leaves on a business trip, she abandons her two children and runs to be with her lover. Her daughter takes revenge by drowning her little brother in the bathtub. She calls her mother and tells her what happened. The mother and her lover, while racing back to the house, are involved in an accident where the lover is decapitated. A year later the mother moves in with her lover's blind brother and strange things start happening. Yes, stranger than I've already described. The mother keeps the decapitated head locked in the freezer and makes love to it every night while the blind brother is trying to figure out what in the hell is going on in his house. That's the movie in a nutshell. The pacing is really slow and the dubbing is horrid. Also, you know what's going on long before Bava tells you. But it's still quite shocking and the ending is the best part. The last frames will either having you splitting with laughter or confused as hell, or both! It will be the only thing I take away from this movie. I hope A Blade in the Dark is better than this.

Woodyanders Unhappily married New Orleans resident Jane Baker (superbly played by gorgeously voluptuous brunette knockout Bernice Stegers of "Xtro" fame) has a steamy adulterous affair with hunky Fred Kellerman (a brief, but solid appearance by Roberto Posse). Kellerman gets gruesomely decapitated in a freak car accident. Jane moves into a boarding house with handsome, smitten young blind landlord Robert Duval (an excellent performance by Stanko Molnar) after spending a year in an asylum. Moreover, she continues to remain intimate with Kellerman's severed head. Director Lamberto Bava, who also co-wrote the compact and incisive script (the story is based on a real-life event!), expertly crafts a moody, deliberately paced and character-driven low-key oddball horror tale which serves as a poignant and provocative cinematic meditation on love and obsession. The uniformly aces acting from a fine cast rates as a substantial plus, with especially praiseworthy turns by Stegers, Molnar, Posse, Veronica Zinny as Jane's bratty, snoopy, deranged daughter (she drowns her own little brother in a bathtub early in the movie in a truly shocking and disturbing scene), and Ferdinando Pannullo as Jane's bitter ex-husband. Franco Delli Colli's smooth, elegant cinematography, Ubaldo Continiello's cool, mellow, jazzy score, a flavorsome New Orleans atmosphere, and the admirably tasteful and restrained handling of the delicate subject of necrophilia further enhance the overall sterling quality of this compellingly strange picture. Marred only by an unfortunate tacky cheap scare ending, but that minor quibble aside still highly recommended and well worth checking out for fright feature fans who want to see something fresh, unusual and original.
