Sempre de Olho: Uma História Marble Hornet

Did the creators of this movie just go, "We'll get permission to do a 'spinoff' of Marble Hornets, loosely 'borrow' their Slenderman-type villain's name and symbol, make a couple blink-and-you'll-miss-them references to the web series... and that way, we won't get too much crap for trying to make our own Slenderman found-footage move."

Because that plan totally backfired. This is not a Marble Hornets story. They totally screwed up how the Operator works, and with the exception of one tiny reference to the Alex Kralie character, this movie has nothing to do with Marble Hornets canon.

What would've been better is if they'd gotten Joe and Tim to write an actual Marble Hornets movie, and still kept Doug Jones as the Operator.

This is what is scary about this movie: its 90 minutes of annoying people screaming at each other. Every two minutes is a jump scare. This story is terrible. Slenderman has nothing to do at all in this movie. He just stands around. He isn't even most of the jump scares.

It isn't often you have so many lead characters that have nothing about them that you like.

Skips this one. It's too late for me. Save yourself.

I give this Film a 2, just because I'm a massive fan of the 'Mable Hornets' web series ~ So it gets the first point for that alone, and, I give the extra point for Doug Jones' involvement with it (He's one of Hollywood's most underrated Stars, IMO). But that's it.

This Movie bears none of the originality, nor sinister foreboding contained within the outstanding 'Marble Hornets' web series. It's just very standard, bland, mediocre horror fare, that focuses way too much on God-awful jump scares, and not enough on creating actual paranoia based fear and eerie tension like the brilliant 'Marble Hornets' series did by the Fleet-load.

And our Slender Man/Operator has been shrunk down to the size of a regular Guy, who looks like He's had a hankie thrown over His face, who's only shown in pathetic static little blips. What a waste of the aforementioned awesome Doug Jones. You'd think that a Feature-length Movie featuring 'Slender Man'/'The Operator' would create a much more substantial monster than the one delivered here.

When a 0 budget monster, in a web series, is infinitely more terrifying than the one served up in a Movie ~ You know that Movie has failed on all fronts.

Go marathon 'Marble Hornets' right from the 'Introduction' video, and see how this sh*t is meant to be done! (Best viewed at Night, curtains open, with very hot black Coffee)

Thus film just failed on all levels. Had some creepy scenes but they failed with me because i was so annoyed by the stupid characters and how they reacted to situations. Wasted my time thats for sure.

Okay, the big point of contention about this movie revolves around the Marble Hornets tag. For those not in the know, Marble Hornets was an ongoing, found footage web series, that spanned several years and many hours. You can catch it for free on YouTube. Without going into any detail, it was basically a found footage college project, that started getting a bit spooky and going horribly wrong. It was very well done, but did get very, very convoluted and confusing towards the end.

This movie had absolutely no connection to the web series, and would probably have done better if it was not associate with Marble Hornets. The only common thread is the character, The Operator, who was basically a representation of the Creepy Pasta character, The Slenderman. Had they run with the Slenderman storyline, it may have been more accepted than associating itself to the Marble Hornets name, which has an avid following. Putting aside the differences, as a stand alone movie, it is average, if not a little predictable, hence the 5 stars.
