Early on in Bleed With Me, Rowan (Lee Marshall, who also produced) cracks a smile. Looking at her made me think of the moments in Carrie when Tommy is nice to Carrie and she smiles. Marshall bears a striking resemblance to Sissy Spacek. As Rowan, Marshall is impressionable, malleable, a loner. A lost, gentle soul in need of care. Rowan is surprised, but pleased, to be invited to a cabin weekend in the dead of winter with her co-worker Emily (Lauren Beatty) and Emily’s boyfriend Brandon (Aris Tyros). Marshall’s performance is the stand out of the film, but it can’t save a lazy script, simple dialogue and wooden acting from Marshall’s counterpart, Beatty.
