Yeah, I thought Macabre was pretty awesome. Horror films don't usually stay with me / effect me for very long, but I haven't been able to eat any meat since the Friday night viewing, especially not any cured meats that resemble the plate of food Adam offered to Ladya over the dinner table. And what about when Evil Spawn no. 3 was placing a freshly chopped-up bit of flesh into the ice box, like it was a juicy bit of pork loin? I ordered a plate of ribs the day after and had to push it aside, as that image kept flashing in my head.
Does anyone know how I can get ahold of the "Dara" short that Macabre is based on? Thanks!

A little bit gruesome for that time of night - i was so tired! But good story and developed enough background to carry the meaningless gore at the end. Was it just me though or did the lady with the hairpin really annoy everyone? I think it was her voice - and she was a bit of a psycho!
Not sure if it was the bloodiest movie ever shown at FF though... can anyone think of any other contenders that might knock this one out of the water?

I've an idea that, gallon for gallon, Inside might still be the bloodiest so far.
Once it got past the first twenty minutes or so and they started with the gory mayhem, it was fun enough. It's not particularly good but reasonably entertaining and, along with The Hosemen, made me wonder about Hitchcock's old remark about how difficult it is to actually kill a man, even with a really big knife.

Really enjoyed this. Did meander a trifle towards the end though. Would have liked to have seen it shown earlier though. Would have been better with a bigger and more awake crowd.
But as a 1st (the short nowithstanding) film it shows a lot of promise. Dara herself was very creepy although it will be a long time until anyone manages to be more terrifying on screen than Beatrice "Insides" Dalle.
Oh and, forgive me all, but was I the only one that wished that the baby had been used more to menace us and make us squirm? Seems they missed a trick there.
