Macabre

Film Skool

| Jane Baker is finding life difficult to cope with following the death of her lover. Seeking seclusion, she takes a room in a large, gothic mansion, whose elderly owner is blind. But Jane is also keeping a horrifying secret; a remnant of her love which she cannot let go but must keep hidden. As her fragile mental state further deteriorates, visitors to the spooky old house come too close to uncovering the shocking truth, when Jane snaps and unleashes a wrath of increasingly bloody terror…

The first feature film directed entirely by Italian horror legend Lamberto Bava (A Blade in the Dark), the giallo-tinged, true-crime-inspired MACABRE (Macabro) offers a tense and grisly study of budding madness. Starring Bernice Stegers (Fellini’s City of Women) in a riveting performance utilising the haunting beauty of New Orleans, and featuring a screenplay co-authored by Bava along with the great Pupi and Antonio Avati (The House With Laughing Windows), this unnerving thriller hits 4K UHD from Vinegar Syndrome in a brand new, absolutely gorgeous restoration of its totally uncensored original camera negative, along with a heaping assortment of fresh interviews and critical appraisals.
