Jamie Marks Is Dead

"A sincere, psychologically savvy take on YA supernatural fare."

"An artfully handled but somewhat murky supernatural drama."

"Temperate in tone but screaming with subtext, Jamie Marks Is Dead climbs above the current glut of supernaturally inclined entertainment..."

"(A) delightfully successful second feature."

"It's a film that I liked more when no one was speaking"

"Writer-director Carter Smith got his start as a successful fashion photographer. But you wouldn't know it from the murky look of this generic thriller."

"The film uses its phantasmagoric conceit, a sickly-hued poetry, and eerie sound design to build metaphors for closeted homoeroticism and melancholic unfulfillment."

"Likely to test the patience of many viewers."

"(Jamie Marks Is Dead) admirably refuses to hew to conventional horror tropes and is acted with integrity by its young performers, but ... nonetheless has a nagging pulse problem."
