It is this creepy series of videos on Youtube. It has a Blair Witch vibe to it but is much more disturbing. It's not that it is violent but it uses very disturbing imagery as a very effective tool to haunt it's viewers.
It runs as a numbered sequence of videos found by the narrator. The series is narrated in text which I think helps add to the overall vibe of the videos. I don't want to give too much away plot wise.
To establish my credentials as a credible source and a reliable critic, I want to say I am not a push over when it comes to horror movies. Aside from being a guy, I was raised on horror movies from a VERY young age. I was watching movies like Phantasm and Hell Raiser in the single digit age group. I used to watch a series called Joe Bob Briggs' Monster Vision every time it was on and on every episode of this show, they would feature horror movies.
I have seen the afore mentioned movies and all of their sequels, all of George Romero's films and many of their spin offs, Ringu and most of it's copies/ spin offs, all of the Nightmare on Elm st.s, all of the Holloween films, all of the Friday the 13th films, all of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films (the second one was my favorite, hands down), The Blair Witch Project, and countless other films.
I watched Marble Hornets over a month ago and it is by far the most haunting thing I have ever seen. Every once in a while, a part of it will come back to me and give me the creeps like a flash back to a war. I don't know how it got to me so well, but it has. It scares the flying fudge out of me.
