Reception

Kim Newman (Monthly Film Bulletin) stated that "with only two films, however, Lamberto Bava has established a distinct personality within the genre" noting that Lamberto Bava "favours story-lines as tight and inner-directed as his neurotic characters."^[4] Newman noted that Macabre "will probably be remembered as the definitive severed-head-in-the-fridge film."^[4]
