Let me take you on a journey with our exclusive trailer Marrow featuring genre icons Danielle Harris (Halloween franchise) and Michael Ironside (Total Recall, Scanners).
The true crime-inspired horror thriller stars Jessica Dawn Willis as Jamie Foster, a formerly successful vlogger who attempts to revitalize her career by inviting her stalker onto the show — knowing he may be the serial killer responsible for murdering a string of influencers.
Although Jamie’s views go up, she begins to realize more than her life is at stake when the stalker’s identity — and humanity — come into question.
Harris plays Camilla, Jamie’s wealthy yet ruthless aunt whose threats to cut funding drive Jamie’s desperation to succeed, while Ironside appears as Dr. Jonathan Myers, a disgraced ex-psychiatrist who survived a mysterious encounter with Jamie’s stalker in the past.
The Texas-lensed indie is directed by Mitch McLeod (Silhouette) from a script he co-wrote with Willis and author Preston Fassel (Our Lady of the Inferno).
Although heavily fictionalized, the movie takes direct inspiration from real events that transpired in McLeod’s life, serving as the culmination of a years-long effort to tell a story very close to him.
McLeod explains, “Marrow takes the true accounts of a stalking in small town Texas in the early 2000s and places it within a modern lens, exploring the world of podcasts America’s oftentimes unsettling fascination with serial killers and true crime podcasts. I’ve never seen the dark side of these explored in film, from both the lens of the audience and those telling these stories, and I want to lean into that in an attempt to understand these dark fascinations held by so many.”
Matthew Tompkins, Carlos Cortez, Ashley Spicer, Phil Harrison, Abby Joy, Rrian Rhonda, Kristin Payne, Vanessa Sun, Rachel Rice, and Marc Rouse round out the cast.
McLeod’s Absentia Pictures produces alongside Highland Myst Entertainment and Little Spark Films.
Marrow will have its world premiere at the USA Film Festival in Dallas on February 17.
