Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Alicia Phantom I am a huge Marble Hornets fan and this was nothing like it. It was like reading the Percy Jackson books before seeing the movies... this is just my opinion though and i'm not hating on the makers or the movie its just not what i expected i guess. And if you like the movie that good for you i guess. I was also really confused because the names of the characters i didn't recognize and i know most of their names. (Alex, Jay, Tim/Masky, Brian/hoodie, Seth, the Operator and Jessica) if i missed any other characters i blame it on my really short term memory. So if your a MH fan and you are thinking about watching it then don't. If you want to check it out for yourself then go head but I didn't in joy the movie.

Morganna Bramah 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!

dcarsonhagy First of all to the moron who wants to spell stupid (s-t-o-o-p-i-d), get a life (or dictionary). Don't whine to people in your review about (sic) stoopid editing and then--for whatever reason--turn around and misspell the word. But I digress.I found "Always Watching" on On-Demand. Since it didn't cost an arm and a leg (only $3.99), I thought I'd give it a try. As it began, it tended to drag just a little bit, and the viewer may think "here we go again" with the found footage premise, which has just about been beaten to death along with that proverbial horse. It seems a family has mysteriously disappeared and, rumour has it, they were driven away by a mysterious man soon to be known as "The Watcher." Trouble is, it seems this man only turns up on camera. Three journalists are given the task of going through many reels of film trying to find some connection and, viola, they find...something.As stated before, the found-footage genre is about as overdone as the Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Saw series. This one, which I think pays homage to "Sinister," is a cut above most. I thought the editing was what sold the picture for me. Again, this movie proves you don't have to have a screen awash with blood to scare people. In fact, I don't really know why this is rated R. It could have easily been PG- 13. Angus Scrimm (of "Phantasam" fame) make a brief appearance as a mentally disturbed patient.I thought "Always Watching" would make for a fun viewing for a sleep- over for ages 12 and up. Rated "R" for language. It's what you don't see that scares you. Recommended.

Nikolas Robinson Always Watching is another addition to the preponderance of found footage movies within the horror genre. I was getting tired of this gimmick a good number of years ago, but it obviously isn't going anywhere...and when it works it actually does end up leading to some worthwhile movies. This one is a bit of a loose take on the internet-created Slenderman trope, arguably the first entirely crowd sourced urban legend. The antagonist is referred to as The Operator rather than Slenderman, though the parallels are transparent. In this movie the antagonist only shows up on camera and a news crew working on a story about a family that disappeared happens across home videos that they are scouring for any information regarding the disappearance. The cameraman begins experiencing some encounters that have him (and his coworkers) questioning his sanity and he begins taking his video camera with him everywhere he goes. Though the human naked eye doesn't seem to he capable of seeing The Operator, the camera man's dog seems to see it just fine. I won't bother with drawing any correlations between this movie and the Marble Hornets' short films, because there isn't really a whole hell of a lot that actually connects them beyond the use of the name The Operator in place of Slenderman. There isn't anything new or really inspired in this movie to set it apart from other found footage titles, though it does have some good tense moments and a few decent jump scares. If you're looking for a creepier, more unnerving Slenderman experience, I would recommend playing the video game Slender: The Arrival, which has both a better atmosphere and more effective jump scares (in addition to being interactive, which is quite a bit more immersive). The movie isn't horrible, and the acting is pretty good for the sort of low budget found footage movie it is...so it isn't a waste of time to watch. But if you are looking for something that might be actually scary or really interesting I would recommend waiting for the upcoming CreepyPasta movie directed by Clive Barker. I suspect that his treatment of the Slenderman story will be be far superior.
