Holy Gory Mackerel, BD Selects Acquires ‘Macabre’!!!!
The main reason we started Bloody Disgusting Selects was to find quality horror films – new and old – and bring them to you dear readers. Nothing excites me more than being THE site to actually find a way to bring you something nobody else would, which is why I’m beyond excited to reveal that we’ve acquired U.S. rights to the Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto’s (“The Mo Brothers”) Indonesian splatterfest Macabre!!
Macabre, also known as “Darah”, is off-the-wall violent and has been called the “Indonesian Inside“.
Starring Ario Bayu, Julie Estelle, Imelda Therinne, Shareefa Daanish, Arifin Putra, “Two newlyweds, along with 4 of their best friends, interrupt their travels to pick up a troubled girl on an abandoned stretch of roadway. When they return her to her ancestral home, the night turns into a crimson-hell for the 6 friends, who find themselves trapped and hunted down by Dara and her cult-like family of deadly protégés, born and raised to systematically eliminate unsuspecting passerby for one nefarious reason.”
Macabre is the winner of “Best Actress” at the Puchon Intl Film Festival and has screened at Fantastic Fest, Sitges, ScreamFest LA, Texas Frightmare, PiFan Intl Film Festival, L’Étrange Festival France, Lisbon Intl Horror Film Festival and at the Lund Fantastisk Film.
Release info, U.S. trailer (festival footage inside), one sheet, and more goodies coming soon. Watch this spot.

‘Home Bodies’ Image & Poster Introduce Isolated Twins in Sci-Fi Nightmare [Fantasia 2026]
Sci-fi thriller Home Bodies is set to unsettle audiences at the 30th edition of Fantasia, and our exclusive image introduces a peculiar pair of twins at the center.
Home Bodies makes its World Premiere July 23, at 9:30 PM at Cinéma du Musée in Montreal, with the filmmakers and cast in attendance.
An eerie new poster created by Justin Erickson of Phantom City Creative heralds the film’s premiere.
In the film, “Red and Blue, twins raised in total isolation by an automated house, live according to the rules set by Papa, a disembodied voice behind a locked door who provides food, shelter, entertainment, and order. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by the arrival of Pal, an enigmatic humanoid stranger whose presence begins to fracture the only life the twins have ever known.”
It’s a premise that calls another Canadian creeper to mind and has us intrigued: Pin.
Emma Ho, Ian Ho, and Ess Hödlmoser star.
Home Bodies is directed and produced by Casey Walker, who returns to Fantasia more than a decade after his horror-comedy A Little Bit Zombie screened at the festival in 2012. He’s since gone on to produce a number of defining Canadian genre films like In a Violent Nature, The Void, and Pyewacket.
“I started my career in Montreal and Fantasia has been part of my life ever since,” said Walker. “I couldn’t be more thrilled to return to where it all started and share Home Bodies on such a special anniversary of the festival.“
Karen Harnisch (Infinity Pool, Sleeping Giant) also produces. Executive producers are Todd Brown (The Raid, Mandy) and Chad Archibald (undertone).
