Boosted by its retro-rural setting, The Secret Of Marrowbone offers little more than a standard creaky old ghost story, taken very seriously. The actual 'secret' or twist is painfully easily to work out very early on, especially if you have seen any recent ghost movies that use a similar narrative trope. George MacKay shines in the lead role as the older brother looking after his siblings in the isolated house and is engaging to watch as his situation unravels, but there is little else of note here.
