This effort is decidedly less graphic, and perhaps more personal, than The Ruins. But it’s a haunting bit of work with a few well-timed scares. Gravitas Ventures is bringing Jamie Marks is Dead to select theaters and VOD on August 29th, we’re learning today.
Fangoria presented a first-look at the poster which you see here.
Shameless co-star Cameron Monaghan leads the cast which also includes Noah Silver, Live Tyler (The Leftovers) and Judy Greer (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes). The film is an adaptation of Christopher Barzak’s “One for the Sorrow.”
In a wintry small town, the body of a teenager named Jamie Marks is found by the river. Adam, the star of his cross-country team, becomes fascinated with Jamiea boy nobody really knew or interacted with, except occasionally to bully him. When Jamies ghost begins to appear both to Adam and Gracie, the classmate who discovered the body, Adam is caught between two worlds. He has a budding romance with Gracie, but he also feels a deep connection to Jamie, who brings him closer to the world of the undead.
