The House in Marsh Road is a decent little suspense-thriller that never really gets any better than that.  It concerns a couple who seem happy and yet are really not.  They live in a big house, but not is all as it seems as there is a ghost living with them as well.  So as the movie progresses, items will move around and all of it thanks to their invisible guest.  The wife is a good lady, good with her money and good to her husband while he is a degenerate, a gambler and a womanizer, cheating on his wife whenever the need strikes him.  Things turn sour though when he runs out of money and his wife refuses to give him anymore.  Not only that, his wife discovers that he has stolen from her and in turn given it to his girlfriend.  So it is that the husband plans to kill the wife and said ghost, who is never seen, tries to prevent it.

This film which also happens to go by the name of The Invisible Ghost and also tends to give it more of a horror feel is not anything but.  You can call it a supernatural thriller which would be more apt, yet there are no scares and no chills to be had.  It is hard to be scared or frightened of something that you never see and does as little as it does.  It is mildly suspenseful and it has enough drama to keep you entertained for its approximate seventy minute running time, but is nothing overly exciting.  The film stars Tony Wright as the aforementioned husband, Patricia Dainton as his wife and Sandra Dome as the woman he cheats with.  The performances were good and everyone did their part to put across the material, but for all of the that the film was just so-so.  It would have been better had their been some scares perhaps, but it is what it is.

There were a few thrills along the way and it was engrossing to see Wright scheme and be foiled by the ghost that inhabits the house but the film could have just been an episode of your average weekly soap opera with nothing except a spirit to differentiate it.  If you manage to catch this, it will kill an hour, but it is not worth seeking out as there are much better films out there with similar subject matter.
