Marrowbone - 2017 - 6/10

Family flees England for the States under mysterious circumstances.
They spend a memorable summer, but Mom, already ill, succumbs with the fall.
Ever so gradually, the mystery is teased out until you wonder if the children actually escaped.
As you realize the dilapidated house may well be haunted, or their pursuer has caught them.
While this has a timeless look, the time seems 1950’s (judging from cars and clothes).
Film is overlong and feels it. Acting is fine, characters are not compelling, however.
