Supernatural terror and suspense lurk under the surface of The Marsh, a bone chilling psychological thriller debuting on DVD April 17th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment for the suggested retail price of $24.96. 

Director Jordan Barker (My Brother’s Keeper) has assembled a stellar cast, including Academy Award Nominee and Golden Globe winner Forest Whitaker (Best Actor, The Last King of Scotland, 2007), Gabrielle Anwar (Scent of a Woman), Justin Louis (Dawn of the Dead, TV’s “Trump Unauthorized”), and Niamh Wilson (Saw II & III) for this gripping drama of the paranormal. 

Awarded Best Special Effects and Best Cinematography at the 2006 New York City Horror Film Festival and Best Cinematography at LA’s Screamfest, The Marsh includes a behind-the-scenes featurette with talent interviews exploring the making of this memorable horror film. 

Claire Holloway (Anwar) is the author of a series of successful children’s books.  Her personal life, however, is far from a storybook tale.  Visions of violence and death haunt her and she is tortured by a darkness that seems to seep from the corners of her subconscious.  In hopes of clearing her mind, Claire takes her doctor’s advice to go on a sabbatical.  She decides to stay at the Rose Marsh Farmhouse, which looks suspiciously like the house she sees in her nightmares.

Almost immediately upon arriving at the farmhouse, Claire is shaken by a series of escalating and unexplained events and plunged into a frightening world controlled by the ghost of a ten year old girl (Wilson) - the very girl that Claire has seen in her dreams many nights before.  In a frantic attempt to save her sanity, Claire enlists the help of Geoffrey Hunt (Whitaker), a paranormal consultant who helps her unravel the mysterious village’s dark secret - as well as her own.
