Syntax error in functions.php file fails Chrome page to load on localhost

I'm on a LAMP installation on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
PHP version is PHP 7.0.4
I've worked on WAMP before and any kind of syntax error in the functions.php file led to throwing an error on the webpage.

In case of LAMP, the page doesn't even reload. Below is the attachment of the webpage enter image description here

If the error is rectified, the page reloads and everything works fine. I'm unable to figure out the cause of this, any suggestions?
