The Secret of Marrowbone
Supernatural thrills and chills slowly develop and absorb in this beautifully made directorial debut from Sergio G Sánchez, screenwriter of The Orphanage and The Impossible. George MacKay stars as Jack, the oldest of four British children who travel to the remote and decaying family home of their dying mother in America. They change their family name to hide from their brutal father, and, while the children try to avoid detection, they also grow increasingly afraid of an evil spirit that lurks upstairs.
