nicklock I thought the film at the beginning was interesting. It quickly seemed to drag on. One question I do have though. Where was the sound guy from? Southern CA.? Wondering because why would there be crickets chirping and all kinds of other crawly things making noise in the middle of winter? During the films timeframe there was snow on the ground the whole time yet you kept hearing bugs make noise.

Mihaela_Lacramioara I finally had the opportunity to watch this movie and really enjoyed it. I thought the Marsh was put together very well.For the most part, the acting was great. Gabriele and Forrest were a great team. The supporting actors and actresses played their parts well. There were good twists and turns, good effects, and little else to be asked of a low budget horror movie. The movie was genuinely suspenseful, definitely scary in spots, and full of surprises.Although the ending seemed a bit just "thrown together", I still recommend this to viewers and would watch it again.

p-stepien Claire Holloway (Gabrielle Anwar) is a children's book writer specialising in nightmare bedtime stories. Most of those are taken straight out of her own dreams full of marshes, weird houses and things that go 'chlup' in the middle of the night. By freak chance she watches a glimpse of a house which haunts her dream in a ecodocumentary about swamps. Interneting away she quickly finds the dream-house and naturally decides to confront the situation by making a nice little vacation by renting the house. Soon after dreams start becoming more real and soon she must confront the nightmares that have been scratching at her brain for years. Fortunately she has a trusty sidekick parapshycic Geoffrey Hunt (Forrest Whitaker) to hold her hand on the way of solving this truly Scooby-Doo mystery.The Marsh is truly a movie bogged down by its own script. It starts out promisingly enough only to spiral into absurdity and illogical plot solutions. The multiple twist endings make you smile instead of say 'Ahhh!' as they make the story consistently... well... dumb. Most key to the story: A dead ghost kill off people whose only fault was being asleep at the time of tragedy. But in general plot points stick out like a sore thumb and basically nothing makes much sense. Questions answered are answered badly. And if the two very last scene in the movie doesn't bring out a smile of pity for the movie I will be sincerely surprised.Other than that acting and tech credits are fine, but nothing memorable. Passable at best, laughable at worst.

Cemetarygirl OK there are plenty of Ghost stories out there. Then again there are plenty of ghosts and stories told in front of a warm fire on a wintery night. I for one liked the pace of the film. Maybe too many people are used to the wham bam thank you mam styles that are so prevalent today. I thought that both stars did a great service to the part. I adored Forests interpretation of the character Hunt that he portrayed, quirky and matter of fact, a nice touch. Gabriels search was well thought out. What would another have done under those circumstances, a life filled with memories and dreams and then to face and even embrace those fears in the search for the truth and to save that little girl. The changing room and the tormented boy. What happens to people who hide the truth. They become trapped in their own lies by being tied to a small town or drowning in drink. So I think this movie is more than a 5 minute scare and more a discussion over dinner about what would happen if you where any of the characters. Fine food fodder. My score kept changing because I thought I had sussed it out and I am glad I didn't, gave me much more to think about. I for one am also happy that Ghost stories are making a comeback, and I would much sooner jump in my chair a few times than cringe or hide my eyes or be disgusted by the graphic slasher films also doing the rounds. Give me a good old fashioned Ghost Story any day
