"Always Watching: A Marble Hornets Story" (2015) is a tale from the internet born "Slender Man" mythos.
"Marble Hornets" is a Youtube found footage series centering around a student film & the "Operator" - a mysterious, deadly humanoid. The movie, "Always Watching" is a story from within the "Marble Hornets" universe.
"Always Watching" continues the found footage format & follows a news crew, found videotapes & the "Operator's" supernatural stalking of them as they get closer to the truth.
The film is well done for a smaller budget film. Doug Jones (Hellboy, Star Trek:Discovery) plays the Operator with creepiness.
The only thing that this film really suffers from is it came during the time that "found footage" films had saturated the movie market. It really doesn't add anything new to the genre or even to the "Slender Man" myth either.
It's an interesting film & worth a watch, especially if you're a fan of the "Marble Hornets" series.
Rating: 3/5 Chainsaws
