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.

The film constructs a classic coming-of-age narrative through the lens of TV horror, using its sci-fi premise as a metaphor for social ostracization and puberty. It relies on the contrast between small-town innocence and bodily terror to explore themes of otherness.
What lingers after viewing is a dark fairy tale about self-determination, where the true monsters are the 'normal' townsfolk. The battle for survival becomes a poignant fight for identity against collective fear. — MovieFinder Editorial
