Macabre
Prepare yourself for the Shock of a Lifetime! Once she kept a lover on the side. But that's nothing compared to what she's keeping in the freezer.
Directed by Lamberto Bava
Produced by A.M.A. Film, Medusa Distribuzione
A deeply disturbing exploitation horror film that mines psychological perversion and necrophilia for shock value, set in a claustrophobic boarding house atmosphere.
A middle-aged woman, traumatized from the death of her adulterous lover, moves into a room at a New Orleans boarding house where the blind landlord becomes suspicious to her activities of continuing her affair with her dead lover.
