Wow! Such a good movie.

Excellent, a Must See

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

What Marble Hornets is: A series about college kids who get caught up into some really, really weird stuff. Its slow, its confusing, but not just to us, to the characters to. We see what they see. We only know what they know. Thats /the point/.What Marble Hornets is to people with no patience or understanding: Slow, boring, uninteresting, unfun.Marble Hornets lost a bit of magic when it ended because - now for new viewers, you didn't get to see it progress. A lot of this series to me was waiting and watching for updates, eager to see what was next. At the height of this, I would say in 2012, it really was a community series. I remember staying up all night with friends, talking about theories, discussing new tweets and watching the entries together. Now you really can't do that, and its not the fault of THAC that it just lost that bit of magic.But I digress. This series is slow at the beginning, weird at the middle, and absolutely insane at the end. I would absolutely recommend this series to anyone with a patience and maybe, you know, a love for seeing how the slenderverse started. Because this series freakin' pioneered it, lads.

This starts out great: suspenseful, mysterious, and it has your attention right away. As film student Jay takes a look at the tapes of the unfinished project of a fellow film student, (Alex) he notices a mysterious figure appearing in several strange shots that don't seem to fit in with the rest of the film. It becomes clear that something happened to his friend and might have been hunted by the creature, also known as Slender Man. As Jay keeps studying the footage, he gets involved in it up to a point there's no way back.So, like I said, this started out very promising and it had me thrilled. However, as the series unfold, it just keeps going for too long and in my opinion, the story loses its vigor. The story stops being coherent, they keep adding things to it in a way that makes it seem like they just make it up as they go along. 'Oh, here's another tape I hadn't seen before'. Plus it seems a little too easy to include memory loss every time as an excuse to fill in the gaps, and it becomes annoying after a while he doesn't remember anything. On top of that, the character's actions don't make sense half of the time and they behave completely unrealistic. There's a scene in which Jay follows Alex deep into the woods without even knowing what they're going to do there, and at some point he just goes back on his own and Alex stays behind, in the middle of the woods. (Maybe they explain Alex's strange behaviour later on, but it's still weird Jay followed him for no apparent reason.) Also he willingly keeps wandering around in desolated houses and woods on his own, even though he knows Slender Man can show up any moment and despite his previous statement he doesn't want anything to do with it anymore.What also bugs me is the complete lack of emotion and/or fear Jay seems to have. He never once screams, seems in shock or looks/sounds the least bit frightened, panicked or emotionally affected even though his whole life has become a complete nightmare. Whenever he's on camera he just looks kind of numb, which could make sense since he's wrecked, but it's the only state he's ever in. I know I would freak the hell out in his situation, and most people would express at least some kind of emotion.Halfway through the entries, the only thing that kept me watching is that I wanted to know how it ends. I feel like the concept is really good but there's just a lot of missed chances. Too bad, I really loved the concept and the very strong beginning. That doesn't mean there are no plus points: it did keep me watching, so it's very addictive and they keep up the suspense constantly. At the end of every entry, it made me and my boyfriend go: 'Ok, ONE more'. It's definitely a recommendation if you like mystery/horror and a good scare, but don't expect a genius storyline.Still worth a 7 out of 10.

Only yesterday did I find the you-tube show "Marble Hornets". It was recommended to me by a friend because I love psychological horror and mystery. These two words perfectly describe this show.The show follows Jay, a young man who's best friend encountered a tall, blank faced creature in a business suit by the name of the Operator (or Slender Man) while filming his student film "Marble Hornets". Jay goes through the tapes in an attempt to figure out more about the creature, and is eventually forced to run from the seemingly unstoppable force as he begins to unravel the mystery.Continuity is highly important and very well done in this series. Tiny things in the first few episodes come into play in later episodes. If you are like me and LOVE connecting the dots and consuming every detail, this show rewards your hard work.The acting is a little spotty in season one (Entries 1-26), but does not detract from the story or experience. As season two hits the midpoint, the acting improves, and the story begins to unfold.The shaky hand-held camera quality is really effective in adding to the disturbing atmosphere. The creators do an incredible job of building tension and giving you a sense of dread. I found myself searching every pixel on the screen for a glimpse of Slender Man.One more small thing that I appreciated was the fact that there was close to no profanity, no sexual content, and very little actual gore. By throwing those factors out, the creators took on the challenge of making their series strong with good writing and editing, which really pays off.Overall, this show scared me more than any modern day horror film has, and is highly reminiscent of Christopher Nolan's "Memento". If you want to be scared out of your wits, enjoy playing Sherlock Holmes and solving mysteries, or both, this is a must watch.9/10

Marble Hornets is an online found footage series spanning two YouTube Channels and a Twitter Account as it follows Jay, piecing together the raw footage of his friend Alex's cancelled film, Marble Hornets, in order to find his missing friends...The less you know about the series when going in, the more scary and exciting it is. I am writing this while it has just started its 3rd and final season. So far, it is very intriguing, atmospheric and terrifying and for any fan of horror or found footage. The threat introduced in the very beginning of the series is not only visually scary but its vibes are found everywhere in the series. If there is anything worth watching online, this is it.Marble Hornets Season 1 and 2 is available on DVD!
