Macabre (2009)

AKA: Darah

Director: The Mo Brothers

Premise:
A group of friends pick up a hitchhiker and take her home. To repay the kindness her mother offers to cook them a meal. Turns out the family has other plans.

My Take:
The film pays great homage to slasher flick of the 80's. There's is lots of gore and many kills.
While this type of flick is common place in Western cinema, it's not as regular in the Eastern counterparts. And that is what makes it worth a watch.

Rating: In the middle
