Review of The Marsh (2006) by Nick O — 11 Jul 2007

Another in a string of haunted house movies, but this time this one has.

A twist (don't they all?).

Anwer looking very aged in this film, plays a writer who has rented a.

House for a season to concentrate on working on a new book, but while.

She is sitting in her chair drinking wine and looking at a blank.

Monitor, the power switches off and lo and behold within a few minutes,.

She sees a little girl ghost, followed by the obligatory scary ghost.

With contact lenses.

Conveniently, she finds Forest Whitakers number underneath the sofa and.

Decides to phone him, because he is a psychic consultant anyway. but.

Instead of doing the ghost busters thing, he decides to light a log.

Fire outside and offer her whiskey.

Things go from bad to worse, when every horror film tockbox is marked.

(when someone is dreaming, you wouldn't look into one of them old.

Viewing machines, would you?).

Disappointing to say the least, nothing exciting really happens, and.

The big revelation is that Anwars character forgot a major point in her.

Childhood.

Whatever...
