I found the film Macabrae to be a very strange film, and quite disturbing as well. A New Orleans housewife leaves her daughter and son home alone so he can go and meet her lover. While driving with him, she receives a call that her son has died. She drives rushing to her house which results in a horrible accident. Her lover dies and she is sent to a mental institution to recover from the trauma. Upon her release from the mental institution a year later she moves into the boarding house where they would stay together. The landlord of the house has died and her blind son is left to maintain the house. he becomes attracted to her more each day then suddenly he feels that something is not quite right. he keeps hearing noises coming from the upstairs bedroom, almost as if someone was with the woman, this carries on for a few nights then he gets suspicious after going in to the kitchen. and finds the freezer door locked up, what he does not know is that she is carrying on her affair with hear dead lovers severed head!! this film i found to be disturbing in parts but was an enjoyable film
