Ratings and reviews

You could either pay for it here, or look up Marble Hornet on youtube and watch the whole thing for free put together in a playlist. I mean if you want to own it and have it downloaded then sure you could do that. But my thing is that if I can watch it for free in the same quality why buy it. Same thing happened when the Halo movie Forward Till Dawn came out on youtube. I found multiple free version. I watched the movie, was satisfied with it and forgot about it until I saw it in stores for $12 (US). I mean, if you watch this on youtube and like it then sure go ahead and pay for it over here.

I am a long-time fan of Marble Hornets and horror films. There's a lot to like in Always Watching, and fans will definitely enjoy this fresh view of the Slender Man mythos (and subtle nods to the original series). The need for a camera to see Slendy did a good job motivating the typically trite found footage approach. However, the ending left me unsatisfied. The narrative seems to suggest one possible outcome, but goes in another darker route for the sake of the gloom. The plot's structure reminds me of The Ring, but it sadly didn't have nearly as much of the effect. Worth a watch if any part of Marble Hornets excites you, but don't expect it to blow you away. The masterpiece Slendy story is still waiting to be told.

As a long time Marble Hornets fan, I had high expectations for this movie. The web series series was scary, thrilling, unexpected, and overall one of a kind, hovever Always Watching was none of those things. It's an insult to call this a Marble Hornets movie and a disgrace to say the main antagonist was the Operator. The movie had no relationship to Marble Hornets at all. Cliche and steriotical, the movie made no sense. It was just a waste of my time, I wouldn't recommend the movie to anyone.
