Marker (2005)
In an isolated small town in the Pacific Northwest, Sylvia's teenaged life of juggling two boyfriends and an overprotective father is turned upside down when she discovers she has a bizarre virus which has randomly plagued the women in her community for decades and shamefully forced those afflicted into hiding. Sylvia undergoes a horrifying physical transformation, and she finds herself drawn into a persecuted underworld where she begins an astonishing journey of freakish self-discovery. Marker is a classic coming-of-age tale with a horror twist, which pits its heroine against her oppressors - the town's non-afflicted - in a battle for self-determination--and survival.

Wow! Such a good movie.
Absolutely Fantastic
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Odd coming of age film, its not a horror film, about how the women in a small town are prone to suddenly growing horns. This causes them to be hidden away or killed. Not a bad film, but it wasn't the horror film I expected. Even the "horror" twist isn't much of anything. More its a fable about being different. I'm of mixed feelings about the film, in that this is an okay film that really could find an audience if it was handled correctly, but marketing it as a horror film in the deadly direct to video cheap horror market is dooming it to being never seen, or worse causing people to say bad things about it because its not the horror film they expected. this isn't to say I'm raving about the film, only that if I were a girl of a certain age I might have found this film strangely comforting. Recommended for girls of that certain age.
