jamiedecourley I found myself on a cold and lonesome Missouri morning flipping through streams on Justin TV via my Roku box. Upon finding a film that was just beginning I began to become enthralled in "The Marsh." I must say that in reading several other reviews of this film I became a bit aggravated and even somewhat confused by the harsh tone which many reviewers attacked the film. This isn't a great film but it is a very good film, especially for horror fans that spend so much time searching for something that qualifies as decent. Yes, "The Marsh" does seem to rehash some common horror themes and at time the film is a bit predictable, that being said, I found enough originality in this little gem to appreciate it. The best thing "The Marsh" has going for it are the it's solid performances and it's stylistic and heartfelt directing. These things alone seem to elevate the film far above many other straight to DVD horror releases. I honestly felt compelled to write a positive review for this film after reading so many negative ones. The film deserves a better wrap than what it's been given by overly pretentious movie goers, the kind only pleased with over hyped and over produced piles of Hollywood crap-fest. I think many of these reviewers should have just watched their copy of "Forrest Gump" again. In conclusion it is my sincerest hope that the true horror fans out there will give "The Marsh" a look and a fair trial.(looking at you in shame DVD Verdict.)

sportspecific1 I hate scary movies, because they Never scary just blood and guts and are easy to guess the ending. BUT this one was unpredictable! The actors were believable and the graphics were good! I even jumped a time or two!I think Gabrielle is to thin in Burn notice which makes her character unbelievable- like she could actually kick in a door with thoughs sticks for legs but she is not so skinny in this movie and helps her character seem real! She is a better actor than I realized because she fits the part she plays in the marsh. And I totally did'nt guess the ending which I usually do within the first few minutes of other scary movies. I will watch this movie again!

shaipaneer This movie is very badly written. A few things pops into mind. And i'm just writing some of the nonsense things that this movie have1- Who are the twins? what were they doing with the 3 guys and a 1 girl?2- Why in the hell the news papers talk about a violation of one girl, when the only thing that makes sense is to notice the missing of TWO girls, two girls are missing and the news paper talk about a raped girl? that just plain stupid. Maybe they were already ghosts (ahahah it's irony), 'cause they disappear and no one notice, there was no family, nothing. They appear from thin air. We just know that what was said to the lead part of the movie, that the parents died in a car accident. If so, was someone of the 4 kids part of her family? Of course not, the movie is just stupid...3- The gun that kills the "rapist" (what rape?? we just see the legs of the girl during a suffocation) was in another floor of the house and appears in the closet for the little girl to use. not even gore-comedian movies are that stupid.4- The woman (the girl that was with the 3 boys) after all that she sees goes and stays in the house to live? That's "macabre" of her part, and she doesn't seem that type. (time line error surely)5- This is really a question. What has the picture to do with the murderer/rapist (what rape??), is it an ancestor?The few things that make sense are weak, this was a terrible movie. And i like low budget horror movies, and many of them also has poor plots and few sense, but like this.... this is not a low budget film, and it seems that a dead-line was made and the movie makers just rushed to do one, whatever it was.

Skynet-TX I only voted 5 out of 10 for this film because the sound quality is so POOR that it does not make the film really enjoyable. When the actors are speaking you can only hear them if you set the volume to the maximum. But if you leave it there the ghost scenes will break the glass in your window and you will become totally deaf. The film itself is very good and if you managed to uniform the sound it will be even better. The DVD has a sound of poor quality as well, so instead of the original watch the ripped and corrected one. Some scenes are a bit similar to Poltergeist or Exorcist but since it's a ghost movie, they must be so. The actors are good and the acting is good as well. Only the sound is poor. But that is really.
