[BD Selects] First Clip From Hotly Anticipated ‘Macabre’!!!
The astounding Indonesian horror Macabre is finally upon us. You will meet the mother of all evil this November when the vicious and violent horror film arrives on home video after screening online for FREE!!
The movie that was too gory for theaters & VOD is making its way online for fans to enjoy for FREE! The Collective and Bloody-Disgusting.com are premiering Kimo Stamboel & Timo Tjahjanto’s blood-soaked feature Macabre on Friday, November 1st. Known as “The Mo Brothers”, the duo has been generating buzz in the world of horror with their upcoming movie Killers. In addition, their involvement with V/H/S/2’s “Safe Haven” segment has been making critics take notice and leaving their fans wanting to see their earlier work.
Macabre will premiere FREE on Bloody-Disgusting.com on November 1st as the latest installment of the “Bloody Disgusting Selects: Movie of the Month” series that launched earlier this summer.
We’ve started to distribute exclusive new looks at the film, starting with the below clip, courtesy of Arrow in the Head.
Macabre follows a group of friends whose act of kindness in helping a total stranger leads to a horrific night of terror. Originally released overseas as Darah, the Indonesian-language film was considered too bloody and violent for U.S. theatrical release. “We wanted to give fans a chance to see the movie. And with Bloody-Disgusting’s base of hard core horror fans, it seemed like the right fit to get this movie in front of an online audience for free,” says Gary Binkow, Partner at The Collective.
The Mo Brothers are bringing a fresh new twist to the genre, and we’re excited to be able to bring their earlier work to you guys. If you’re a fan of Inside, consider this a warning: Macabre is literally drenched in gore!
For hardcore horror fans, The Collective is also releasing a Limited Edition DVD of Macabre which will include a 12-minute “Making-of” bonus feature along with several Deleted Scenes. Street date for the DVD is November 5th, and it will be sold exclusively online through Amazon (to add to “Wish List”: click here).
“When a group of friends traveling through the countryside stops to help a young woman, they cannot imagine the nightmare this act of kindness will soon unleash. After accepting an invitation to dinner from Dara, the rescued woman’s mother, the night turns into a crimson-hell for the six friends. Trapped in an isolated home in the woods, the friends find themselves hunted down by Dara and her cult-like family of three deadly protégés—each born and raised to systematically eliminate unsuspecting passers-by for one nefarious reason.”
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
