Marrowbone is a deeply psychological horror movie that considers heavy ideas of memory and loneliness all explained through a careful metaphor that director Sergio G. Snchez inlays throughout his film. A 2017 English-language Spanish psychological horror, Marrowbone stars an incredible cast including pre-mega-fame Anya Taylor-Joy and Mia Goth, as well as George MacKay and Charlie Heaton. The film was received fairly lukewarmly, with a 49% on Rotten Tomatoes. What it lacks in emotional depth of its characters and originality it makes up for with its cast, atmosphere, and moving story.

The film is set in 1968 and follows the Fairbairn family. Led by matriarch Rose (Nicola Harrison), the four Fairbairn children move from England to Rose's childhood home in Maine, called the Marrowbone Residence, which they all take as a surname, forgoing their unremarked upon father's name. Rose dies just a few months later leaving the eldest son, Jack (MacKay), to take care of his siblings,...

[Note: With the film now out on DVD, here's a reposting of our review of The Secret of Marrowbone from its cinematic release back in August]

Three brothers and a sister have just lost their mother. After her death they fear to be separated, so to protect themselves and prevent this from happening they decide to flee to an abandoned farm, a place that is not what it seems, because it hides a dark secret between its walls.

Sergio G. Sanchez’s The Secret of Marrowbone comprises a fusion of Alejandro Amenabar’s The Others and Alfred Hitchcock’s famed masterpiece Psycho, not necessarily in the context of plot points but clearly influenced the formation of a deeply expressive style of subtlety. While not a complex piece of intricacy in the realm of the horror genre, it has its moments of slight terror and peril,...

Sergio G. Sánchez is best known as co-writer of The Orphanage, certainly one of the best horror films of recent years, with its gothic setting, and themes of past traumas haunting the present. In his feature directorial debut, he returns to some of these same themes and devices to great effect. Marrowbone Siblings Jack, Billy, Jane, and Sam have moved from England to an American coastal town with their mother Rose (Nicola Harrison) to escape an abusive father/husband. But Rose dies shortly after their arrival, and in order to make sure the children stay together, they must hide out for several months, until Jack turns 21 and can take legal guardianship of the family. Only Jack...

"We have to tell Allie the truth."
