Jamie Marks is Dead
Directed by Carter Smith
Fifteen year old Adam McCormick's life hasn't been the same since classmate Gracie Highsmith found Jamie Marks’s dead body at the edge of the river. The town is shocked, but as speculation swirls, it becomes clear that they knew as little about Jamie as they do about the circumstances surrounding his death. Adam becomes fixated on Jamie's death and gradually a deep bond develops between the living teenager and the dead boy's ghost. Their unlikely friendship provides Adam with the support and friendship he needs as the rest of the world falls apart. But the more attached Adam becomes to Jamie's ghost, the weaker his ties to reality become. As he struggles with the real world relationships, Adam is forced to rediscover what it means to be alive.

Enjoyed this slow burn little gem of a film
Good Movie
beautifully shot. well acted. more of a ghost story than horror.
I really liked this movie, a lot.
It had a lot of good points (all the actors did a phenomenal job). A lot of beautiful shots. An interesting supernatural bent with the ghosts being a bit more solid (yeah, it was a biproduct of lack of budget, but it didn't feel like a mistake). Bad points? Sometimes I felt there was some bad scene transitions or a lack of information that seemed pertinent. I'm not sure if that was down to editing. I had questions like: how long was he dead? How did he seem to know so much ABOUT being dead? Why did he want words but Francis seemed to not require them? Was that his "thing" because he was ignored? With some tightening it could have been a better movie. Not bad. Worth a watch. It certainly felt a little anticlimactic, though.
