While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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.

I didn't get to watch the entire movie,I ended up falling asleep. That's just a show that it's a kinda bit boring. I don't even know what the plot is, it's all over the place, and the characters are so bland it makes me wanna vomit, this story has nothing to do with marble hornets, another thing is Slenderman doesn't show up at all until the ending. Overall, this film left me disappointed.

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!

Alright. Is this a perfect adaptation of the web series? No, not exactly. There's a lot changed, none of the original characters are present, and some of the lore of The Operator has been changed and warped to fit the story of the film.And that is completely fine.Marble Hornets the Web Series, for those who are not aware of it, is a horror/thriller series that spans the length of roughly five years. That's a lot of content, and, if everything were followed to the letter, would be hard to translate into a full length movie. A lot of it would be condensed or even completely removed, which as we all know, does. not. work. (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Percy Jackson, etc.)So, the filmmakers took a bold step and just... wrote their own thing. But it works. Yes, they changed the lore of what the symbol means. Yes, they changed how the operator works. But it all works in favor of the story that is being told.It's well acted, well shot, and the editing is pretty decent. It's something I've gone back and watched, more than once, and I find little things every time. I would highly recommend it.
