The true crime-inspired horror thriller Marrow doesn\u2019t have a release date yet (as of right now, all we know is that the film will be premiering at the\u00a0USA Film Festival<\/a>\u00a0in Dallas, Texas on February 17th), but a trailer for the film has dropped online today, and it caught our attention with its cast: Marrow stars Danielle Harris<\/a> of the Halloween franchise and the legendary Michael Ironside<\/a> (Starship Troopers)! You can watch the trailer in the embed above.<\/p>\n

Synopsis<\/p>\n

Mitch McLeod\u00a0(Silhouette) directed the film from a screenplay that was written by lead actress Jessica Dawn Willis (The Woman Under the Stage) and author\u00a0Preston Fassel\u00a0(Our Lady of the Inferno) and happens to be inspired by actual events that took place in McLeod\u2019s life \u2013 although Willis and Fassel are said to have put a heavy fictionalized twist on those events. Willis takes on the role of Jamie Foster, a formerly successful vlogger who attempts to revitalize her career by inviting her stalker onto the show \u2014 knowing he may be the serial killer responsible for murdering a string of influencers. Although Jamie\u2019s views go up, she begins to realize more than her life is at stake when the stalker\u2019s identity \u2014 and humanity \u2014 come into question.<\/p>\n

Our friends at Bloody Disgusting<\/a> note that \u201cHarris plays Camilla, Jamie\u2019s wealthy yet ruthless aunt whose threats to cut funding drive Jamie\u2019s desperation to succeed, while Ironside appears as Dr. Jonathan Myers, a disgraced ex-psychiatrist who survived a mysterious encounter with Jamie\u2019s stalker in the past.\u201d <\/p>\n

Statement<\/p>\n

McLeod told Bloody Disgusting, \u201cMarrow\u00a0takes 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\u2019s oftentimes unsettling fascination with serial killers and true crime podcasts. I\u2019ve 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.\u201c<\/p>\n

Willis, Harris, and Ironside are joined in the cast by Matthew Tompkins, Carlos Cortez, Ashley Spicer, Phil Harrison, Abby Joy, Rrian Rhonda, Kristin Payne, Vanessa Sun, Rachel Rice, and Marc Rouse.<\/p>\n

McLeod produced the film through his company Absentia Pictures, alongside Highland Myst Entertainment, CC Films, and Little Spark Films. Carlos Cortez serves as an executive producer.<\/p>\n
