Haunted by gruesome visions of violence and death that would be far out of place in her successful series of children's books, a sophisticated author embarks on a brief sabbatical into the countryside that turns out to be far from the convalescent getaway her doctor had prescribed. Claire Holloway (Gabrielle Anwar) is an author whose rich imagination has fueled a successful career in children's literature, but one glimpse beneath the surface of her fragile psyche reveals a woman whose life has been far from storybook perfect. Tortured by a darkness that seems to grow blacker with each passing day, Claire follows her doctor's advice to leave the city behind and collect her thoughts at the picturesque Rose Marsh Farmhouse. Upon arriving at the remote farmhouse, however, Claire quickly realizes that the formidable estate bears an uncanny resemblance to the house that plagues her nightmares. When a series of strange and seemingly supernatural events lead Claire to believe that the ghostly young girl who dwells in her dreams may in fact be real, the frightened author seeks out the aid of handsome newspaper publisher Noah (Justin Louis) and paranormal consultant hunt (Forest Whitaker) in solving the mystery of this cursed village. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Having disturbing nightmares, a children's author Claire Holloway played by Gabrielle Anwar obeys her doctor's orders and takes a vacation, she checks into the Rose Marsh Farmhouse. But her nightmares come to life, so she goes for help and asks Jordan Barker played by Forest Whitaker who is a paranormal consultant. This is a very nice thriller/ghost story, it has a nice story line with a very nice special effects, very entertaining, you should rent The Marsh.

This was a very SLEEPY movie! The plot was not good, the acting was mediocre, and it didn't make sense. The movie moved too slow for me,with awkward moments in it from the characters. At one point, one is led to believe that Forest Whittaker would like to date the bimbo who keeps seeing these stupid ghosts; then, it seems as if he just can't get his nerve to be romantic, so he goes back to being a "ghost hunter." I WOULD NOT recommend this sleeper to anyone. EVER!

Not a bad horror movie as horror movies go...good actors which really helps! The storyline is pretty predictable but at least has decent special effects...ok for a rent if you are in the mood for horror.
