Every house holds a secret. Some refuse to stay buried.
In 1969, far from the noise of the city and the shadows of a dark past, four siblings—Jack, Jane, Billy, and little Sam—arrive at the secluded Marrowbone estate, hoping to start anew. But in Marrowbone, innocence is fragile, and the past isn’t content to remain a memory.
When their mother dies, Jack (George MacKay) makes a desperate choice: to keep her death a secret until he turns 21, so the family won’t be separated by the authorities. But as time passes, cracks appear—not just in the walls of the house, but in the lies that hold them together. A mysterious figure lurks in the attic. Strange sounds echo through empty rooms. And something—perhaps someone—is watching them.
As love blossoms between Jack and a local girl, Allie (Anya Taylor-Joy), the line between reality and illusion begins to blur. What unfolds is not just a ghost story, but a psychological unraveling of trauma, guilt, and the bonds that keep us whole—or destroy us entirely.
Elegantly directed by Sergio G. Sánchez, Marrowbone blends gothic horror with heartbreaking drama, where every whisper matters and every silence hides a scream. The cinematography is both intimate and chilling, trapping the viewer in the decaying beauty of a home haunted as much by memory as by monsters.
Can love survive when truth is a locked door? Or will the secrets of Marrowbone consume them all—one lie at a time?
