Raymond D. Effective at creating a creepy setting. Terrible acting. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/30/25 Full Review Laurie F Dumb movie-full of over acting and dumb choices. Sometime after the weird call about Marge Polly is telling the Dr and the house cleaner the details and it takes her 10 min to get the story out, with her ending her hysterical retelling of the two-minute call with something about how Marge’s time is running out. Duh! Then the Dr tells everyone to not tell the cops and drags Polly to the graveyard with him where they wander around (Polly hysterically, the Dr lamely) barely poking their shovels around the graveyard where they think Marge might be buried. And did I miss something about how Polly so quickly figured out where Marge was at the end? I did have some laughs though so it gets one and a half stars. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Barbara F. Terrible acting. Story. What a waste of time lol Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z The promtion and off screen narrator hype this movie as horror, But it's more of a whodunnit , As doc gets message his daughter is buried alive in graveyard, Lots of red herrings, An atmospheric creepy graveyard, Lots of flashbacks, past affairs, I did not guess the twist, Amusing William Castle audience warnings, And a humorous cartoon, played over the credits. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Ian S Dire. Plenty of unintentional laughs. A short movie that still dragged to the finish. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review dave s The premise of a father searching for his missing daughter, who has been buried alive by a psychopath, is intriguing. Unfortunately, William Castle's Macabre fails miserably in creating any sense of intrigue. The primary problem is the fact that the plot is ridiculously convoluted and when the plot twist is revealed at the end, one is left wondering whether there could have been an easier way for the antagonist to achieve his or her goal. Well of course there was an easier way. Things are further complicated by flashbacks that do more to confuse issues than to clarify them. Some of the acting is laugh-out-loud funny, especially that of William Prince as the father of the buried girl, who appears more interested in spitting out banal dialogue than digging holes to find his daughter. Some of the cinematography in the cemetery is effective in creating an atmosphere, but this isn't enough to save the film.
