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.

Imagine elementary school children playing with action figures. They have no story. Minute by minute, they make it up as they go along, and their minute-by-minute story is uninteresting, uninspired, and uninformed by life experiences or research.That's "Marble Hornets", only along with the interminable, nonsensical, video-recorded live-action childish roleplaying, we get a bunch of incredibly stupid people praising them, cheering them on, and pretending to want their contributions to a feature film. I could forgive them for making horrible videos if 1) they weren't receiving and capitalizing on undeserved praise while 2) hijacking someone else's fictional character.I would love to see a comparison between whatever these guys propose as contributions to the screenplay and what ultimately gets made. In the end, I suspect their only realized contributions will be the title and the setting, to relate the film to the "internet phenomenon".

A great, suspenseful series that best represents the "Slenderman phenomenon." From a technical standpoint, this series succeeds without flaw with good special effects that are used appropriately, believable characters, and a gripping storyline. Although presented as a found-footage style film, I believe that it is one of the best examples of an otherwise cash-in genre in horror. While most Slenderman films are dismiss-able, this series creates a well balanced feel of supernatural and reality. I would highly recommend this to anyone with enough time to go through the episodes. It is a very unnerving series and this is coming who has watched hard-core horror movies since he was a child. Overall, I would give it a 10/10 for having done all the things it set out to do perfectly even if it has spawned a following of people making cheap rip offs.

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
