Why it’s HorroRated

Marrowbone is a gothic family horror film that prioritizes atmosphere and character over explanation, which gives it a quality that more plot-heavy entries in the genre lack. The Devon setting is beautifully used and the sibling dynamics are credible. A slow film that rewards the patience you give it.

Synopsis
