Top review. Blair Witch for the YouTube Generation!!!! Marble Hornets is an online found footage series spanning two YouTube Channels and a Twitter Account as it follows Jay, piecing together the raw footage of his friend Alex's cancelled film, Marble Hornets, in order to find his missing friends The less you know about the series when going in, the more scary and exciting it is.
I am writing this while it has just started its 3rd and final season. So far, it is very intriguing, atmospheric and terrifying and for any fan of horror or found footage. The threat introduced in the very beginning of the series is not only visually scary but its vibes are found everywhere in the series.
If there is anything worth watching online, this is it. Details Edit. Release date June 20, United States. Entry 81 was fairly calm throughout most of the video until the end, although the atmosphere is still rather bleak.
Entry 84 was fairly easy going, but still contains a big reveal. Brick Joke : In Entry 27, the first combination Jay tries on the safe in his hotel room is Twenty five entries later in Entry 52 which takes place the day before Entry 27 and Jessica suggests using as the combination, to which Jay denies, saying, "No, that's the first I'd try. Entry 69 reveals he managed to burn some of them.
Call-Back : In entry 54, tying in to the theme of revisiting the original making of Marble Hornets the first shots of the tape Jay watches show the Silver Silos, which were in the very first shot of the Introduction to the series.
For those who have seen the hilarious "Marble Hornets Trailer" on the season 2 DVD, this is also directly referred to in 54 where Alex, Tim, Seth and Brian start working out the music for it, only to be horrifyingly interrupted.
Another callback to the trailer occurs in Entry 55, which shows the filming of two shots featured in the trailer. The trailer itself features a callback to Entry 7, with dialogue and a shot filmed in said entry. In Entry 80, we see the first instance of the Operator using his arm since Entry Camera Abuse : Many examples, reasonably. Cassette Craze : Naturally. Cat Scare : This does occasionally purposefully happen, such as the jump cut to Alex's silhouette in Entry 44, but the Nothing Is Scarier nature of the series means that any time the camera pans quickly can be this, for example, Entry 23, which comprises about 5 minutes of Jay whipping the camera back and forth around a dark, empty house.
Character Blog : Jay keeps viewers up to date with his Twitter account. Totheark briefly took it over to wish us a happy Halloween. Chekhov's Gun : The red tower in season one, seemingly a landmark and little else, comes up again when Tim and Jay scale it to find a tape. When Jay wakes up at the beginning of season two, he finds a key in his belongings. This isn't mentioned again until Entry 46, when we see where Jay found it, and we don't learn what it opens until Entry Jessica's phone number , which is key to opening the safe.
The bullet casing Jay finds in the house in Entry 16 might be explained as of Entry 52, wherein Alex pulls a gun on Jay and Jessica. In a literal sense, Alex's gun is this, because it is the weapon he ends up using to kill Jay in Entry And, in a case of Laser-Guided Karma , Jay's seemingly-ineffective pocketknife is the weapon that ultimately kills off Alex, at Tim's hands. On his way to the red tower in Season 1, Jay briefly flashes his camera over a hole and a bit of static is heard.
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment. Over 40 entries and three-and-a-half years later, when Jay and Tim return to check it out, they find burned tapes in the hole, showing Alex did burn some of them before Jay intervened. Chekhov's Gunman : Jessica can be seen getting out of her room and walking past Jay in the hall in Entry Attention is not called to her, she is just a character in the background at this time.
However, she is formally introduced in the next entry. Chuck Cunningham Syndrome : Sarah, the actress in the Student Film isn't mentioned by any of the other characters, and we only see her in the old tapes. Jay doesn't even consider seeking her out for interviews.
She is described as "gone", which may imply that she died or vanished. Then again, Jay and Tim are described as "gone" in the same breath, so it's still anybody's guess.
Clueless Detective : Jay is the embodiment of this trope. Continuity Nod : The ominous parallel at the end of the totheark video, Null , where the word "regards" appears, which is the exact same as the title of the first video ever uploaded by totheark over four-and-a-half-years ago. Contrived Coincidence : Downplayed is Jay and Jessica staying in rooms right next to each other, which eventually turns out to have been no coincidence at all.
Cruel and Unusual Death : Entry 38 features Alex telling Jay a story about an s community's preferred method of dealing with criminals: tying them up between fast-growing trees and letting them be stretched out, like a rack. Which they stopped doing after finding a mangled child impaled on a tree Creepy Basement : In Alex's former house in Entry Jay and Tim should have known better than to go down there. Creepy Child : Tim as a kid , at least to his doctors who would witness him screaming in fear at something they couldn't see.
Creepy Doll : It looks like the Slender Doll in Entry 18 was intended to be this but just ended up oddly adorable. You know, for a faceless voodoo doll. It's not the doll itself that's creepy, but what it represents. It makes a reappearance in Entry The doll in Totheark's video Indicator , which makes a return in Entry 62 in totheark's shack. Cringe Comedy : Any of Jay's attempts at lying to or deceiving someone for information. Curbstomp Battle : Jay's attempt to fight the Operator in Entry The Operator easily trounces Jay and wipes his memories of the last couple of months.
Of course it's unclear if Jay actually tried to fight the Operator or if the Operator yanked Jay over to him so this may not count. Most encounters with Masky end this way, in Jay's favor: When Masky attacked Jay in the old house, Jay and Alex quickly subdued him and broke his leg with a piece of concrete. When Masky comes at Jay in the hotel, Jay escapes after cracking him upside the head with a Maglite. Ironically, a later video implies that Masky was there to protect Jay rather than attack him.
Interestingly, Masky's alter-ego Tim is shown to be a much better fighter, as he laid Jay out with a single punch once and later easily overpowered and hog-tied him during their confrontation after the reveal that Tim had been lying about knowledge of Jessica's fate. Curiosity Killed the Cast : An underlying theme of the film. Alex's whereabouts are unknown, nobody has seen Brian for a while, Sarah flat out disappears, and Jay keeps getting sicker and sicker.
Several other characters will appear and disappear as the series goes on. Dark World : The industrial looking place Alex is traipsing about in during Entry This is later revealed to be his basement Daylight Horror : Several entries in the first season take place during the day.
Notable examples from season one include Entry 17 and Entry 23 when Jay goes into Alex's old house during the day. The vast majority of season two seems to take place during daylight hours. Only a few entries happen at night, and most of the truly scary scenes all occur in broad daylight. A lot of the responses posted by totheark are disturbingly incoherent, and are often shot in daylight hours. Deadpan Snarker : Alex has shades of this.
I got kind of lost, I guess. Alex: You got lost in woods you've never been in? Alex: Okay rolling. Brian starts coughing up a fit.
Alex: Good take. Alex : When I gave you those tapes, I told you never to mention them again. I thought that implied not sharing them with the world! Alex, Tim and Brian are discussing the Marble Hornets film when the power goes out. Tim: Is it going to be, like, dark? Alex: There's going to be significantly more lighting.
Please don't copy this DVD. Or else Slenderman [sic] will get you. Jay: No. Tim: In the daytime this time. Jay: I've been there in the daytime! Nothing good ever happens when I'm there. Tim: Is that Rosswood or is that you? Alex : I've done everything to keep this under control! Everyone is dead! Genre Blindness : Jay seems to not understand the potential dangers of breaking into a deserted house at night, alone in the woods.
He's done this more than once. He acts even dumber in Entry 40, apparently deciding that it's a good idea to take a walk in the creepy haunted woods. In Entry 46, Jay decides to stalk Alex at his house. This would normally fall under the umbrella of Genre Savvy , considering Alex's more than suspect behavior , but the way Jay goes about it going into the house while Alex is taking out the trash , leaving him next to no time inside he's just asking to get caught.
Which he does. And even Alex points out how stupid he was. It goes even worse than he could have imagined when the Operator shows up. In Entry 59, even after all Jay's been through, he's still willing to meet someone he doesn't entirely trust in what appears to be an isolated location alone in the middle of the night for an incredibly vague reason.
Fortunately, while Tim is not happy with him, he just punches him once and then yells at him instead of, say, pulling a gun on him. Genre Deconstruction : Marble Hornets deconstructs its own Alternate Reality Game format by showing what happens when its primary subjects find out their activities are being shown to the entire world.
This causes nothing but trouble for Jay. In Entry 52, Alex decides to kill Jay for putting all the videos detailing his shady past online. In Entry 59, Tim reveals that he found out that Jay was stalking and lying to him the entire time just by looking at the publicly-posted videos on YouTube.
He flies off the handle. In Entry Genre Savvy : In light of the aforementioned Genre Blindness that Jay seems to suffer from, dropping the camera and running like hell in Entry 40 is the savviest thing he or anyone ever did through the series.
In Entry 47, he's smart enough to check before leaving that Alex really gave him Jessica's number and, arguably, at the end when he pretty much admits that it's more than likely that it's his fault Jessica ended up amnesiac in a hotel.
However, he doesn't say where, because he's aware that he's being watched by Alex. In Entry 69, Jay says he thought he saw something moving in the woods and shrugs it off as a bird. Tim says that, given what's happend, they need to be nervous even when they think they've seen something.
Later, after Jay sees someone that he fails to catch on camera, Tim states that they should have left as soon as Jay thought he saw something.
When this happens a third time, Tim recognises it as what happened to him before he became Masky, and suggests that Jay get medical help immediately. Jay also appears to have stopped saying where he's going on Twitter.
Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the Operator from still finding them. The Ghost : The Operator plays this role for our protagonist, Jay.
Though he can often be seen in the tapes, was seen by Alex and Tim, and the viewer can see him watching Jay on several occasions, Jay doesn't actually encounter the Operator until Entry When Jay possibly attempts to fight the Operator in Entry 52 , the Operator easily overpowers Jay and wipes his memory.
Ghostly Chill : Jay complains of being cold in Entry Guess who's watching him. Happens to Tim in Entry Ghost Story : We get told one about the old forest and how in pilgrim-times, the villagers would use strange, ever-growing trees that grew in the forest to torture and kill convicts. It's very strongly implied that the Operator is somehow linked to this legend and the forest described in it. Glowing Eyes of Doom : In totheark's Classified video, possibly.
Good Smoking, Evil Smoking : Played with. Tim is the only character to be seen smoking onscreen, and he's later revealed to be the antagonistic Masky , though we later find out Masky is a separate personality and Tim is in fact a good person. On the other hand, the man killed in Entry 49, a presumably innocent character, may have been smoking in Entry Who would imagine something as pants-wettingly scary as this being named Marble Hornets?
Gory Discretion Shot : Invoked in Entry After murdering a man, Alex takes a rock and lifts it above his head. The following scene was cut out by Jay, who tells us he hurled the rock onto the victim's head four times. And then played dead-straight in Entry 65, when Tim finds the body of the aforementioned man. Grand Finale : Subverted ; if the series were to end with Entry 86 the penultimate entry , the series would've fit this trope a lot better, considering the entry deals with the final battle between Tim and Alex.
Entry 87 is actually quite calm for a series finale, with Tim saying his last goodbyes to Jessica before moving out of town to a new life. Gut Punch : Jay's death in Entry 80, since he was the series protagonist up to that point and it was left up in the air who would run the rest of the series at that series.
Harassing Phone Call : Jay gets one in Entry From Alex. Hard Head : Alex and Tim both seem to have skulls made of high-carbon steel. Heartbeat Soundtrack : Entry 27 opens with Jay awakened by a 'heartbeat' sound from the television. The camera picks up what sounds like heartbeat in Entry Justified, since it's worn strapped to the chest. Hell Hotel : The hotel Jay wakes up seems pretty normal until he notices that he and Jessica are the only customers staying there.
This ends up being creepier than it sounds. Hell Is That Noise : The audio distortion can very frequently slip into this, especially if it's loud and unexpected.
It gets taken up to eleven in the DVD audio commentary. You definitely come to realize how close the two of them are as friends in real life. Troy: I mean, what are we going to sell as Marble Hornets merchandise, a shirt with my face on it? Joe: I would buy a shirt with your face on it. Jay : Great, more tapes.
Jay: It's not out there anymore Cue the distortion from hell and the Operator standing right behind Alex. Though I'm not really one to judge Jay: I'm, uh, shooting — shooting a documentary. Jessica: Oh? What's it about? Jay: Uh, hotels! What could you have possibly hoped to find in that amount of time?
Jay: Well, at first it was to find you and now that I've done that, I need to find out what happened to Jessica. Neutral Female : Subverted in Entry Jessica watches Alex and Hoody fight for a brief moment, but then turns around and runs for her life - though it makes no difference to her fate in the end.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! Alex and Tim both declare this when they learn that Jay has been posting the videos on YouTube for everyone to see. It's heavily implied multiple times that Tim may in fact be the person bringing the Operator into everyone's lives. Tim himself believes this, and is Alex's reason for attempting to kill him. Nightmare Face : A subtle one near the end of Entry One occurs in totheark's video called Inquiry , which appears again with even more distortion for one frame in Reminder.
It appears to be a distortion of Tim's face. He does it again in the Decay video with a different face. One of the most horrifying ones in the entire Mythos occurs in Entry 60 when The Operator gets within inches of the camera. Display is full of Nightmare Faces. Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book : Alex draws hundreds of pictures of the Operator, among other things, in his more distressed states. Intermission has some drawings presumably belonging to Totheark, depicting trees and Jay stated his to Jessica once, but muted the sound afterward.
In 60, Jay finds a medical form with Tim's name on it, but his last name is blacked out except for the first letter W. Especially notable in Jessica's case, since her actress didn't have her last name stated right away.
As such, many fans know both character and actress as Jessica, thus causing confusion when talking about the character and actress. Nothing Is Scarier : He doesn't do anything! He just stands there! Traditional scary unreveals are rife throughout the series. Entry 11 sets up a nigh-legendary scare when Alex wakes up, walks around his empty house, checking out each window.
