I do love a found footage horror and while I've heard of the Marble Hornets series, I went into this pretty blind on the slenderman front. Whether that is why I enjoyed it so much (seeing all the bad reviews) but it was fast paced, creepy and had a pretty good story, what was not to like?Following a small news team inspecting repossessed house, they come across a box of video tapes and sense a story. After watching the tapes, they soon realize the family wasn't pushed out by the banks, but by a faceless figure that can only be seen by a camera lens. While the slenderman to me isn't that scary when you actually see him, the glimpses and cut jump shots you get of him were very effective. Seemingly if you're a Marble Hornets fan you won't particularly like this movie, if you aren't you'll probably dig it like me.

I am a huge Marble Hornets fan and this was nothing like it. It was like reading the Percy Jackson books before seeing the movies... this is just my opinion though and i'm not hating on the makers or the movie its just not what i expected i guess. And if you like the movie that good for you i guess. I was also really confused because the names of the characters i didn't recognize and i know most of their names. (Alex, Jay, Tim/Masky, Brian/hoodie, Seth, the Operator and Jessica) if i missed any other characters i blame it on my really short term memory. So if your a MH fan and you are thinking about watching it then don't. If you want to check it out for yourself then go head but I didn't in joy the movie.

Apparently "Marble Hornets" the long-feature film is based on a series that can only be seen on You Tube. Personally I didn't know this series existed… No wait, let me rephrase that, personally I didn't even know there existed series that can only be seen on You Tube! Anyways, the series revolves on a fictional character referred to as Slender Man – although for legal reasons here re-baptized into 'The Operator' – who is a type of boogeyman-for-the-cyber-generation and appears in sinister internet videos rather than underneath your bed. The bad news, however, is that "Marble Hornets" is also one of those dreadful Found-Footage horror movies, which means that the hand-held camera-work is horrendous (and, no, it's not adding any atmosphere or suspense), the characters are underdeveloped and over- the-top hysterical most of the time and that the film ends suddenly and abrupt without any type of proper explanation. Sara and Milo are a not-so professional duo of news reporters, sharing a brief but uncomfortably awkward love history, are following around a team of evictors for a human-interest documentary. They enter a rather nice and well-decorated middle-class family house where the residents cleared rushed out of unforeseen and in a hurry. They stumble upon a pile of family videos and discover that the father became gradually paranoid – and righteously so – because he always spotted a sinister figure observing his family from a distance. This perpetrator can only be seen through the lens of a camera and pretty soon he's also stalking Sara, Milo and their obnoxious supervisor Charlie. If you disregard the connection with the Internet series, "Marble Hornets: The Operator" is an incredibly mundane and forgettable movie. The only remotely interesting added value in the script is the unhealthy relationship between the lead protagonists. For example, Sara and Charlie learn about the existence of The Operator when they stumble upon Milo's private videos in which he's stalking Sara. Both the appearance and the background story of The Operator aren't very interesting or scary, and he honestly doesn't do a whole lot apart from discretely standing in the background. If there ever was a movie that is suitable for Found-Footage fanatics only, it must be this one.

*SPOILERS AHEAD!!* Small ones, not that important but smallSo I'll first say I thought this was going to be the worst piece of poop called a movie in the history of movies... And I was wrong! This has great actors who look panicked when they see him in the cameras, sad when a dog dies, and the best screams when Slendy opened a door with so much force that it could break a wall. The setting perfectly sets the mood like in the actual marble hornets production (I've watched the Marble Hornets Entries twice). You knew exactly where they were and what they were doing.I don't understand why people hate it. Yes the idea of not seeing him with the bare eye is not on the same legend, but they only did that so people could understand why they needed the cameras. It's just they way of making this more suspenseful.I also don't understand why people can't find a plot to this. I could make a whole summary of the movie in 1 single paragraph.The final thing I don't understand is why do people not like the idea of the camera isn't a 3rd person POV, but a 1st person camera.In conclusion, this movie was a masterpiece that deserves to be told so.
