    • Macabre Slashing Pleasure Giallo!
Macabre is a really sick film! The story is really twisted and maniacally disturbing, good acting of all the cast, not too much explicit violence, like I said the script is extremelly well done to produce a psychotic thriller with some sexual bizarre feelings. The fx are not present except for the...best watch the movie! Blade in the Dark is a slow tempo serial killer story because was intended like some kind TV serial feature. It`s very into the Giallo vein, and believe me this film got one of the best homicidal scenes ever, the girl in the bath room! It's a good film with the perfect sadistic mix of explicit violence(the italian legacy of horror masters blood it's here on the shoulders of Lamberto Bava) and Hitchcock influence. A good movie pack 2 side disc that you don't regret, the soundtrack it's very good too for both films, good image quality and video transfer and includes inlay miniposter of the movies and the price is fair I think. Amazon use to put out Anchor Bay items on sale , the more regularity in this practice the best chances to get perfect saturday nights italian gore delights! ... show more

    • Alice Sweet Alice meets TCM
The best part is the psychopathic 12-year old daughter who successfully murders her brother, gaslights an adult man, and then drives her mother insane. All in a day's work! (Why she did it we have no idea, as neither the screenwriter nor Bava seems to care.) As others have said here, if you like insane, whacked-out 70s Italian movies, this is what you're looking for--just be ready to trudge through the middle part, which drags... the movie is essentially plotless, because it never tells us why anyone is doing anything. So in the middle part you're essentially just watching people go about their lives. Hitchcock once said drama is life with the boring bits cut out, but Bava never got the memo... but hang in there, because the ending is just as bonkers as you were hoping. Fwiw, it's an Italian film, so there are no people of color, and no LGBTQ characters. Unless you count necrophilia as queer. But, like I said, it's also driven by a "creepy kid," which is the best argument I know for not having children. So with that and the necrophilia, it's not exactly heteronormative. ;) ... show more

    • but one of my favorite horror movies of all times
Also known as "Frozen Terror", this movie by the famous horror director Lamberto Bava is obscure, but one of my favorite horror movies of all times. If you love over the top 70's Italian horror flicks, this should be your first stop and literally nothing will ever top it. A woman's lover is decapitated in a car accident and the head is never found. A year later she leaves the mental hospital and their relationship appears to pick back up right where it left off, and she's awfully protect of the mysterious mini-fridge that she keeps padlocked shut. PS - Her pre-teen daughter is evil. Need I say more? Either you're already in love with it or you know that this picture is not for you. Please purchase accordingly. ... show more

    • Insanity Runs In This Family
A friend's mom worked at a psychiatric hospital and wore a T-shirt that said, "Insanity is Inherited! You Get It From Your Kids!" After watching Lamberto Bava`s "Macabre," I believe that T-shirt was right. Jane is insane. Her crazy daughter, Lucy, made her that way. While Jane is away from home (in bed with her lover, Fred) Lucy becomes very angry. She drowns her toddler brother, Michael, in the bathtub. While rushing home, Fred and Jane are in an accident. Fred is killed and Jane is hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital, blaming herself for Fred and Michael's deaths. Jane is eventually released and moves back into the love nest she shared with Fred. Lucy begins secretly tormenting her mother. Meanwhile, the blind landlord begins investigating the strange occurrences in Jane's bedroom. Though Fred is dead, Robert hears her passionately cry out Fred's name during nocturnal bouts of ecstasy. "Macabre" means "ghoulish" and this movie certainly is. It's one of the most perverse and bizarre I've ever seen. Not too surprising since Lamberto Bava is the son of the late Mario Bava who was known as the Italian Master of the Macabre. Unfortunately, "Macabre" is not on the same level as the films of Mario Bava's career. Also, it is too slow moving for modern viewers though it is sometimes suspenseful, especially towards the end. The ending was a real shocker, but very unrealistic and silly. Speaking of shock, the film "Shock" was Mario Bava's last feature film; it was co-directed by his son, Lamberto. Both "Shock" and "Macabre" bare many striking similarities. Both involve women recently released from the mental institute. Gradually, they begin losing touch with reality and slide back into their original state of insanity. New Orleans scenery and a jazzy score are nice. Stanko Molnar's performance as the blind Robert is excellent, the best part of the movie. I fear for his safety when he discovers Jane's horrid secret. Unfortunately, none of this is enough to warrant purchasing the film unless you are a diehard Lamberto Bava fan or, if you're like me, you can buy it a dirt cheap price on Amazon.com. If you are really curious about Lamberto Bava's directorial debut, I suggest renting it on a dark, lonely night. ... show more

    • One of the best endings ever!
I realize either people love or hate this movie but I really enjoyed it.Don`t come here looking for gore.There`s hardly any at all.What you come for is a good time and to have some laughs.Yes,everyone is voice dubbed in southern/Cajun accents but so what.All Italian horror movies have dubbed English voice overs.Its the fact you got a blind guy who is very resourceful and sharp witted despite his being blind.You got a wacked out husband cheating woman in the mix who loves her dead boyfriends head,and you have her psychotic yet reserved little brother killing daughter and jeleous of her mother attitude thrown in and what do you got?One hell of a hysterical interaction between these 3!People that don`t like this movie must be too serious or snobby.But if you have an insane sense of humor and are unshockable like myself,then check it out.Lots of laughs to be had here. ... show more
