Critics Consensus

Marrowbone's effective setting and strong cast can't make up for thinly conceived characters and a story short on genuine scares.

Sara Michelle Fetters

MovieFreak.com

It is a sensational piece of genre subterfuge, the narrative an increasingly byzantine maze overflowing in deft twists and turns.

Rated: 3.5/4

Donald Clarke

Irish Times

There are reminders here - as there were in the recent Irish horror The Lodgers - that the haunted house movie still contains possibilities. Neither will it, however, keep you awake at night like The Orphanage.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

Sergio G. Sánchez struggles to locate the frights, with underwritten characters draining his shocks of their emotional payoff.

Ready Steady Cut

Four siblings move to America with their mother in sunny 1969, make a new friend, and live in a creaky old house. Go watch it before you read anything else.

Flickering Myth

The Others is the most obvious touchstone and comparison point and, while Sánchez doesn't come close to that level of artistry, his film showcases a real mastery of tone.

Rated: 3/5

A great dive into the complexities of mental health, especially PTSD and how trauma can completely alter someone's brain and way of life forever. The twist is heartbreaking but amazing in terms of storytelling. I think the actors did such a good job portraying the story and I couldn't give them enough kudos for bringing the plot alive with how much emotion they put into everything.

I loved this movie! I was invested the entire time. It wasn't too scary and it's perfect for anyone who is wanting to get into horror/thriller films. The plot, characters, symbolism, everything was amazing. 10/10 recommend.

Solo puedo decir ¡¡WOW!! Empezando desde que me lo recomendo un video de TikTok y que tenia pocas esperanzas de que realmente me gustara porque no confio en TikTok, puedo decir que me encanto, ame la pelicula, cada escenario, cada dialogo, las actuaciones, el suspenso... ABSOLUTAMENTE TODO. Al final termine llorando porque empatize tanto con el protagonista que senti su verdadero dolor de ese vacio que nos deja la gente cuando se va. Llore de verdad. Recomendisima, me encanto todo, el plot twist y las muertes que verdaderamente me dolieron 😭

I really liked the movie overall, but thought the final act was kinda dumb. It was interesting, kind of an old-timey thriller, sort of a ghost story, but not really. Idk, definitely a nice distraction.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Following the death of their mother, four british immigrants to America try to make ends until their oldest brother is of age. The house creaks. Featuring two of my favorite young actors, MacKay and Taylor-Joy, I enjoyed this gothic haunted house tale. There aren't a lot of scares. This is as much a drama as horror story. I loved the atmosphere and tone director Sanchez creates telling the tragedy that befalls this family. Some complain of underwitten characters. I think they missed the point.
