‘Marrow’: Danielle Harris And Michael Ironside Join New Horror Thriller
Genre stars Danielle Harris (the Halloween franchise) and Michael Ironside (Scanners, Total Recall) have joined the cast of Marrow, a unique, true crime-inspired horror movie set to begin filming this summer.
Marrow stars Jessica Dawn Willis (The Woman Under the Stage) as Jamie Foster, a formerly successful vlogger who attempts to revitalize her career by inviting her stalker onto the show, knowing he may be the serial killer responsible for murdering a string of influencers. Although Jamie’s views go up, she begins to realize more than her life is at stake when the stalker’s identity—and humanity—come into question.
Harris costars as Carmilla, Jamie’s wealthy—yet ruthless—aunt whose threats to cut funding drive Jamie’s desperation to succeed. Ironside will appear as Dr. Jonathan Majors, a disgraced former psychiatrist who survived a mysterious encounter with Jamie’s stalker in the past.

Marrow will be directed by Mitch McLeod, from a script by McLeod, Willis, and novelist Preston Fassel (Our Lady of the Inferno). McLeod’s Absentia Pictures will produce, with Carlos Cortez (who also appears in a supporting role) serving as executive producer. McLeod previously helmed 2019’s Silhouette before producing 2023’s Woman Under the Stage, which also saw him partner with Willis and Cortez in addition to Marrow co-star Matthew Thompkins (Sicario).
Says McLeod, “Marrow takes the true accounts of a stalking in small town Texas in the early 2000s and places it within a modern lens, exploring America’s oftentimes unsettling fascination with serial killers and true crime podcasts. I’ve never seen the dark side of these explored in film, from both the lens of the audience and those telling these stories, and I want to lean into that in an attempt to understand these dark fascinations held by so many.”
Willis, Tompkins, and Jon Keeyes (Becky) will also produce.
In addition to Harris, Ironside, and Willis, Marrow will star Ashley Spicer, Phil Harrison, Abby Joy, Natali Jones, Kristin Payne, Vanessa Sun, Rachel Rice, and Marc Rouse.
Filming is scheduled to begin in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, in July and wrap before the end of summer.
