Marble Hornets

I am a big fan of all things horror. Ever since I was a small child I've been watching, reading, and even creating horror. I've been so de-sensitized to it that absolutely NOTHING scares me anymore...except this film. Marble Hornets has got to be one of the scariest movies of all time. It is a low budget film, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth seeing. It definitely does it's job. The acting may not be "professional" and the camera isn't always focusing on the action, but that's, interestingly enough, a good thing for this film. I would recommend this film to any horror buff- maybe not people who are easily frightened, and DEFINITELY not small children (only for the reason that it would probably require therapy for them to get over their fear). I enjoyed (rather nervously) every minute of it. The best thing about it is that it isn't one of those "jump out and get you" types. Your fear stems from the paranoia you will most definitely feel throughout the entire film. You'll find yourself looking over your own shoulder countless times. A Definite MUST SEE!

The show is so memorable and creepy to me is because it doesn't rely on gore and cheap jumbscares to make you feel scare, instead it's rely on a sense of inescapabilty, because no matter what the character try to do, their fate are the same. The creator successfully created a show with no season is too bad or too good for the rest. In terms of narrative, it's so amazing to see a found footage web series can offers you great storytelling and incredible character development. The appearance of the main villain is so little but that's make every time he appears scary because it remind you how terrifying the monster truly is. The ending is haunting af.

A YouTube serial (with "Entries" serving as one episode), based on the urban legend from SomethingAwful forums, Slender Man. This is another type of movie/series like the Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield... but this title is much more superior than those mentioned as the atmosphere is much more different... and arguably much better.

First, close to the experience to playing Slender: The Eight Pages, the cast and crew create an atmosphere of fear in quite a lot of entries. Also, they don't overdo the fear in every entry, as they have a created a perfect balance in intensity in the series. The shaky camera adds to the fear and anxiousness as the viewer watches every entry. Some may see this as a negative, but I believe the same effect would not work if it was filmed with professional shots, so it actually works well. The acting has also found a great balance of naturalistic acting with believable characters and good portrayal. The portrayal of Slender Man is also excellent and how he appears unknowingly in a lot of entries make this series really worth watching.

The only downside to the series is that there is quite a long waiting time before another entry is posted. Which again is also a good thing, it's so good you want some more. It definitely keeps you hooked.

Also, this another series where I have not felt tired of any episode or actually have favourites.

If you have some time, definitely check out the series and make sure he's not watching ;)

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.

Everyone who knows The Blair Witch Project knows the incredible impact it has had on pop culture and the surrounding area it took place in, having the ability to bring a rich history into existence despite having been not known before the film. Marble Hornets attempts to do this with an established internet bogeyman (the Slenderman) and brings it to a level most would not have expected.

Marble Hornets, a youtube series about an abandoned student film with many hidden secrets to share before bringing in the narrator, Jay's own experiences into the story, shows an amazing aptitude into psychological horror. By showing very little of the mysterious tall, well-dressed being, and giving visual and auditory clues of his influence instead, the creators are able to add a perfect amount of tension, keeping viewers on the edge of their seat throughout the duration of each entry into the series. Viewers' minds will be reeling with questions as they watch, trying to uncover the mystery of the events shown.

Highly recommended for fans of horror and mystery, especially Lovecraft fans
