In todays video we will be exploring one of the first horror series ever uploaded to TH-cam called No Through Road. This series is about four 17 boys who were found dead at an abandoned farm. The footage seen in this series shows the events leading up to their deaths. This series is filled with crazy twists and turns. Some people even call this video one of the first analog horror series to be seen on TH-cam. Today we are going to try and explain all the crazy events that happened in it.

Kinda crazy that I wore a shirt that says "I hope this never ends" during this video. Wild coincidence.
wait you’re actually right

Can you do a video on pixel art horror
You know it’s a good horror film when people actually thought this real footage

@@blankcanvasstudios3463😶😂
@@blankcanvasstudios3463 I knew nothing about that movie until my girlfriend, her kids, and myself sat outside our vehicle at the drive-in theater. Other than watching it alone out in the woods, it couldn't have been creepier
I keep thinking about the rabbit and did a little digging, and it apparently can symbolize luck and positivity, but a dead rabbit symbolizes bad luck and negativity.
You're onto something
that sounds much more logical than the thought I had
I thought now it may be some symbol... like "Alice in wonderland" running after the rabbit
like they run after something to end the loop which can't be stopped which is symbolized by the rabbit bc the rabbit leads to something which is not possible
..... but I think now yours makes more sense 😅
@@Beyza-he8gp yours is a fun idea tho I'd imagine it'd make for some really trippy horror and other weird symbolism
This make's me think of the old Rabbit's Foot Good Luck Charm, where they used to use real rabbit's foot on a keychain. Where it was supposed to mean good luck; as the rabbit was killed to get it's foot, it seem's like it would be more a bad luck trinket instead.
@@Beyza-he8gp This is an interesting take on it. Would make an interesting horror. Perhaps you could make one using the premise in the future.
I did a little reading into the symbolism and significance of rabbits in both spirituality and movies, and a lot of sources seem to agree that rabbits commonly represent rebirth and luck specifically. Not only do we learn that Steven and James are in a time loop, but we also learn *how* that loop seems to form. If it really is Steven 1 that kills Steven 2, then it would easily restart the cycle for him like you said. And the idea of the original masked man being James, who became obsessed with ending the loop and failed over and over, can also play into this. Two people, endlessly stuck in an infinite loop, both trying desperately to stop it. The rabbit being dead on the side of the road could've been an omen of bad luck.
Jordan Peele actually has a really cool interview that he did with TIME magazine when he made "Us" where he talked about his reasons to use rabbits in the movie! He talks about how something so innocent and harmless, like a rabbit (or in this case, the desire to help your past self), can turn into something violent and scary, like your past self killing you in a fit of fear.
The song that plays on the radio when the masked man appears sounds very similar to the chorus of "Run Rabbit Run" by Flanagan and Allen, so I personally thought it was just in reference to that. Again, this is all conjecture, and it very well could be that they didn't think much of it when the very first video was made over 12 years ago now! I just like to deep-dive into symbolism :D Regardless, amazing video as always! I had no clue this series had more than one video, so this was a treat to see on my front page!
Imagine if this all happens just because he hit a rabbit
I love your interpretation of this with the notes and skills earned by you from study.
TYVM for this analyzation, as its helped me see a dif. perspective of this media and even enjoy it a new way!! Hope yer blessed by all the old gods and new, whether you or i believe in 'em or nah.
thanks for the explanation - a dummy😭😭
rabbits can also symbolize innocence
NOO ITS STEVEN 9
Absolutely fucking killer series. That first video is genuinely a masterpiece and I can’t believe more people haven’t covered this!! It’s so suspenseful and the story is genius. If this really was written and filmed by a bunch of 17 year olds…. Major fucking props to them! Hope they continued to make freaky content after this, they have a real talent
Killer
the reaction of the survivor when he sees that streen sign again feels so real and genuine that i am actually tearing up. the despair and agony that one scene portrays is unlike anything i've ever seen in media.
While I definitely feel bad for him idk why you'd go back after something seemly supernatural like that happened. Who'd have thunk going back to the place where you got lost unexplainably over and over you'd get lost again
A sponsor by lionsgate is huge!! You deserve it Marcus!!

HOLY SHIT, _WHAT???_
NEXT THING WE KNOW, MARCUS ENDS UP IN A HORROR MOVIE!!!
The fourth body could be James-3, he could have been there long enough that he aged and no one recognized him.
That’s what that was
When I saw this videos title, I thought it was about that one irl case. Where a family of four during a winter night took a wrong turn when driving back home. The wrong turn was one of their biggest mistakes. Unfortunately, the father of that family didn't make it.
I know that one. Is it the one where the father left the vehicle to go and try help and never made it back and a few hours or a day later the family stuck in the car got help?
@bluntslt8023 Yeah, it's that one I believe it's called, "The Kim Family Tragedy."
if its the same one im thinking of, i think the fact that they saw his body allowed them to find the car, which is crazy
That makes me think of the case that Fastball’s song “The Way” was based on.
Didn’t a helicopter see his footprints in the snow and follow them back to the car?
Steven 1 doesn’t kill Steven 2 because Dave (?) stops it. That’s how Steven 1 survived being killed. He was never killed because the Dave in that loop stopped it.
The four bodies probably had something to do with time shenanigans. We’ve been shown the same person from different points in time can co-exist, so what if those bodies are how the loop eventually ends. Or, instead, we can’t comprehend the time splitting that would be going on so we perceive the boys as dead. What I mean is, the boy’s are truly stuck in a loop, but the outside world isn’t. However we can still interact with the place the loop is and not be sucked into it. I think in a way, time and the universe is just simply fixing the hole this loop causes by giving the easiest answer. The boys still exist, but they’re dead. Meanwhile, the actual 5 boys are stuck in the loop. We see time moves on outside of the loop. It’s like how your brain will skip over extra words in sentences or fill in gaps in your vision; it’s fixed with the logical conclusion.
Steven 1 survived being killed because Steven 2 pushed him away, which is when he kills his future self. Nothing really suggests Steven 2 survived somehow, well, save them not showing an actual crushed head which is probably more due to a limited budget.
Yea it's true
@@Ollybollyk I came to my conclusion because we see Steven 1 supposedly die (in NTR 1), but he actually survived with cuts on his face from having a camera smashed against it. Also, if Steven 1 killed Steven 2, the loop would end, but it doesn’t. Dave pushes Steven 1 away from Steven 2 and saves his life. I’m not quite sure what happens to Steven 1 after he runs off however.. there’s not a very good answer for that. Maybe he escapes the loop, maybe he doesn’t and just lives in the wild.
With that that last sentence it would've messed me up if you went back and added double words
@@AJGecko18 dave never pushes steven 1 away he just gets closer and we dont know how to end the cycle and if theories are correct then steven 1 has to die not steven 2 steven 2 dies there and steven 1 becomes steven 2
the cut on his face probably was steven 2 trying to get steven 1 away from him
there are 3 spiritual meanings behind a dead rabbit i think the Celtic meaning is the reason its when you sea a dead rabbit in your dreams or in real life something bad will happen to you
It can also mean rebirth
Which kinda pairs up with the whole time travel plot
oh i didn't see that when looking for it that seems closer to the plot@@donutwastaken718
I can not remember if I’ve dreamt a rabbit
Theory: The four bodies ARE the four friends, after all, for anyone to see the tapes, time must have progressed. Perhaps James finally managed to kill everyone and break the cycle, either becoming the fourth body or fleeing the scene.
The 4th body could be Dave and still make sense. We aren't told anything about the bodies found, the killer could have disfigured his face and he wasn't able to be ID'd since real Dave is Alive and James has no memory. James suddenly running off with a mask seems to me like maybe now that he's back in the time loop he regained his memories and realized that he originally only escaped because of someone with a mask and he realized it was him.
Dude if James was the masked man, then he really has it the worst, since he basically has to kill his friend's in an endless loop, hopelessly trying to get out of it.
The song that was looped (at 9:30 ) is called My First Love by Gillian Welch and was used in the horror movie The Strangers from 2008, its about a newly wed couple getting stalked by a family of masked killers resulting in their later death, while the family gets murdered, this song loops, and then the movie ends with the family (the killers) asking two boys if they could have a pamphlet for Christianity. By playing this song we can understand that the boys were most likely stalked by the masked killer before the killer strikes a few hours later, just like in the strangers, the loop part where the signs are can show that the killer was most likely trying to panic them (by appearing near them when the boy got out of the car) into taking several loops around the farm area, which when they them escape could possibly be an illusion due to the time and panic, which then let the killer strike and then one of the boys died while the rest seemed to escape. Of course my comment is all assumption as I haven't watched the full video yet.
From when I first watched No Through Road to a month later when I watched the strangers to now, that song makes me go into complete fight or flight whenever it plays to the point where I have to skip it in the video
That beat is fire 🔥🔥
1 no through road has been one of my favorites for the longest time 2 OMG A SPONSOR FROM LIONSGATE?! CONGRATULATIONS DUDE
I saw no through road in like 2016-18 somewhere around there and I’ve never seen it again until now, its actually kind of nostalgic now I think about it.
Damn was 2016 so long ago that we had 6 more months in the year?
@@ciaramitchell01 your ears smell good
@@jackdawwAww you're making blush, thank you! 🤭
How can PTSD not play a factor in the fact that he is there again and not only there in the dark but there again during the daytime. Being there in the daytime is enough for me to have PTSD all over again
no through road is genuinely the only analog horror i couldnt watch even with marcus, i think it might be because its british so it feels more relatable to me.
"Where this guy is megamind" most legendary sentence ever 🗣🗣🗣
bro I thought this was like a lost media, I saw this as a kid and thought it was terrifying and had tried to look it up for years and years but I could never find it. The camera ending scene from the first vid stuck with me for a long time, honestly this is a really impressive horror short film.
I like how on his whiteboard a new creature gets added to it every so often.
Ngl this series rlly reminded me of marble hornets due to quality and the mic being distorted, I also tried to search for the symbols but could not find anything similar to it, and my theory is that (this could be a long shot) but maybe the amount of times they went through that same area (in NRT 4) they were brought back through when they were first being stuck in the loop. But damn this is so incredible! (Also congrats on that sponsorship!)
I'm glad Marcus covered this analog horror, I see what you mean about it being similar to Marble Hornets! (#1 Marble Hornets fan of all time here FIGHT ME)
Is it just me or does anyone else hear the beginning of the song "Run Rabbit" during the sound loops? I legit think that's the reason for the rabbit...
This is one of the only analog horror that's actually triggered my fight or flight, that's a good thing to me, because it actually scares me, like I got chills and covered my eyes
Just a heads up, Hertfordshire is pronounced "heart-fud-shuh", also a no through road basically means theres no route to the main destination, sometimes its a dead end
ive watched this video 3x now. no through road is so so so good
the comforting scene while crying on teh dirt road is so wholesome, we all deserve a friend liek that who comforts us.
I love how during the time loop, the radio is playing the music from the series "The strangers" where masked people break in and kill the people inside the home, its the same music!
for the ending theory: did the time loop get destroyed? did "james" manage to end it, somehow making it so their true final deaths were somewhat different? since dave was not there on that fateful night, him being alive makes sense, and "james" mightve just faded out of existance
theory 2 that i dont really believe but eh whatev: maybe james-3 has been there so long he became a bit more insane, to the point where he might have forgotten why he was killing them
I may be overthinking it and it's just a fun analog horror project they wanted to do but I feel like No Through Road is a representation of how people who suffer from persistent depressive disorder (PDD) feel like they're stuck in a loop; in result of Steven, (who I believe is who is suffering from the symptom), killing himself. Including in some people's eyes, rabbits are symbolism of freedom. In No Through Road 4, the caged rabbit symbolize people held without freedom, another way how people suffering depression feel, trapped.
But again I might be overlooking it, idk though
What I think this guy isn’t realizing is that these aren’t vlogs, they’re recovered from the crime scene; The story telling is fairly direct, canonically that last scene with the hat man is probably when this time loop stopped, we may not know but we don’t need to
I’m so glad you decided to analyze No Trough Road, almost forgot it existed until recently when I watched the first video again. (How old is it, like over 15 years old?) loved the series, reminded me of The Blair Witch Project, Local 58, The Sun Vanished, RADAR, and Hiimmarymary with the found footage style. I’m also trying to get back into analog horror, and it’s really cool how creative people can be. Anyways, good video as always, hope you had fun.
local 58 mention!!!
You have awesome taste
34:53 the way the guy in the back turned and the way his glasses were reflecting freaked me out so much omg
AND THE MUSIC
OMG THE MUSIC 🗡️😭
I think the Masked Man being James plays into how there are 4 bodies. James successfully kills all 4 version 1s of him and his friends one day. The loop stops, and James either lives his life in the new timeline or just offs himself.
the music from the first video will haunt me forever now
I can see why people thought this was real because the acting is so good seriously it’s like watching a AAA movie
18:30 This! I understand wanting to pay respects to you dead friends but with the freaky supernatural loop stuff going on I could NEVER go anywhere near that place again. My self-preservation instincts would never let me risk getting trapped like that again because of the experience of being completely trapped and helpless before it again. Even if I armed myself to the teeth I just wouldn't be able to do it due to the paranormal aspect of it.
i remember coming across this video when i was younger. it scared tf out of me but after i realized it was fake it sparked a lifelong love of horror movies and ARGs/analog horror because i keep searching for that rush of fear it made me feel as a kid.
The symbol of the stickman in the circle is a puka. Pukas are mischievous rabbits that either befriend you to enter you or they're out right ready to cut your throat. Their nemesis is a Puka.
Congrats on the sponsor!! Can’t wait to see the movie, actually looks really good
no one ever mentioned it but in no through road 1 at 9:34 you can see the second masked man just appear out of thin air
CONGRATULATIONS on the sponsor, Marcus. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉🎉
I remember this series from way back. It scared the beegeezus out of me because I was one of those individuals who legit thought it was real. I thought Slenderman was real, too, so...🤷🏾♀️
The dead rabbit is actually a symbol in Wiccan belief. It's a symbol of Doom and Time. Whether the director did that intentionally or not, I don't know.
NO WAY I was JUST trying to figure out what the hell this was called. i just remember them being outside the tunnel freaking out and it was so believable it freaked the hell out of me as a teenager.
The way everything just links back to that page is so on point! Because all roads lead here, there's no thru roads here 😊
I saw the first video years and years ago, i didn't even know where was more!! Very nostalgic in a weird way, great job with this
Thinking about it, Im p sure wherever I saw it, it was listed as wickerman or rabbit man or something? Maybe I was watching a reupload, or am misremembering, but it definitely adds to the uncanny feeling
Aye, congrats on that big ol' sponsorship! You deserve it Marcus!!
I never actually thought that you’d cover this series but I’m actually kind of glad you are since I’m scared to watch it alone 😅
your profile picture scared me
@@26deadlyhornets much apologies, i changed it to a taco
@@vanya6467 you did not have to do that kind sir but thank you
3:21, oh, I remember this! This is the tunnel that makes you go through a time loop of sorts, but you'll see real cars go through them, but when you try to follow them to the exit, you're back to where you started
WOOOOOO LIONSGATE!!!! (an old inside joke w a friend lol)
congrats on the sponsor!! this is huge
Brilliant! I saw the first vid when it came out and promptly chucked it into my digital/analog horror playlist...After all this time their narrative and talented form hasn't lost so much as a sliver of its edge. They give us the pieces almost straight away, but they also didn't make this at all obvious, and I love it! Thank you for covering this Marcus, you've inspired me to take a look back on this series, to analyze the clues all over again, and to appreciate the mad skills this guys had thoughout this series! I hope they continue making films like this, because these boys have a true talent that many AAA horror movies often lack. Blumhouse had better keep an eye on these guys 😉
Hey man, just gonna say that Ive been watching ever since the Vita carnis video, You're stuff is incredibly good man!!! Never once regretted becoming a member.
Keep up the good work and get those sponsors!!! Might see the movie cuz of this.
I also really hope you get 1 Mil subs before the end of this year, it's looking like it tho!!
@@FritzVonMoltke it's not even less than half to 1 mil. 500 thousand subscribers in one year ? If that happens it's gonna be a miracle.
@@tazepatates4805trust bro
@@tazepatates4805 it not even march and the channel has gone up by 200k subs. He may get very close.
this series was definitely the reason why im in love with analog horror 😭
I think what might have happened to James 2, is that he came up with the idea that killing the masked man could stop everything so he finds the masked man after the other person and Ollie are killed, but before James 1 could be killed, and kills the masked man thanks to a surprise attack, then he obtains the masked man’s clothes, but then I don’t know who encounters Dave at the end, the masked man before he’s killed, or James 2, I would think James 2 cause the 4 corpses cuota has been completed and that allows Dave to get away and not be envolved again
I grew up in Stevenage. It’s an okay-ish place to live. Lots of good memories
18:44 They basically say to your face this is about people meeting themselves from the future and past and all this dude noticed was the rabbit part
That fact that Steven looped himself like that caught me so off guard. This whole loop is kinda flabbergasting. Whoever made this was thinking too hard.
It'd be crazy if this was announced as a group project but then it turned out to be a goosebumper for all the viewers
No analog horror didnt really scare me, but after seeing no through road 1, it genuine made me scared. Whoever made this needs a round of applause 😭
this is some of the most realistic acting ive seen in a horror series in a LONG time no wonder people believed this haha
edit: well at the start anyway. it's clearly not real after a couple minutes in
1 absolutely sick sponsor I’m honestly hype for Imaginary 2 so glad you’re covering No Through Road the theme that looped in the tunnel unironically terrified me as a kid
Reminds me of that RPG “Cat in the Box”. Vlogger/Yotuber chick goes into a supposedly haunted mansion and gets trapped in a time loop with a past version of herself (technically more than one) trying to kill her and break the loop. One of the endings has her running out over a cliff and falling to her death. The shot showing so many bodies that look exactly like her, many of which that seem to have been there for a long time. Very interesting game.
Gotta say, the fact that no through road continued after the video (with the same name) I never knew it had anything after (definetly scared me as a kid xd)
You know its well made when they put some irl footage.
I remember seeing the first film years ago and the tension building when they got lost and then the relief when they got back on a highway was so real I felt it- plus the acting was so real; it was like how my own friend group would react, trying to joke though the fear- that's def why many thought it could be real footage. it was an amazing short!
This video genuinely traumatized me for quite a bit as a child. Seeing it being covered AND learning of its sequels is awesome now
W Upload as always (I only have ever seen the first video so I'm glad you're covering the whole series now since it's so Good)
this is one of the best analog horrors ive watched to be honest like its a complete story and everything leads to an interesting plot point and they made the concept of loops wayy scarier
Whenever I'm in the mood for analog horror I watch this guy. This is fire bro
the acting in this was genuinely phenomenal, i could definitely see why people would think its real. those guys did amazing!
if i'm not wrong its one the very first analog horror in the early history of youtube
Marcus the symbol looks like a stick charm, which is the symbol used for the blair witch project. In the blair witch project the symbol *acts as a portal.*
And the symbol is shown right after they go teleported back to the tunnel in tape 3...
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this series, but from what I remember, the acting continues to be incredible.
ive been in love with no through road for at least 4 years now, i love seeing these analysis videos on it pop up every year or so
Finally you reacted to this! This series was legit so unsettling and the storyline is really getting me interested. This is awesome!
Finallyyy thank you so much Marcus for seeing my suggestion
I love your videos Marcus, you got me back into analog horror and have inspired me to try making my own short analog horror film
I loved listening to your thoughts and analysis on this series. Thanks for the video!
Happy 500k Marcus!!!
I remember when the first video first came out honestly as a teenager I kinda thought maybe it was real because it was so well done and unfiction was still new
I looked it up and a dead rabbit symbolizes that one has lost their way. I think it could also be a symbol of irony, as the rabbit’s life has come to an end, but the road will never come to an end.
Thank you for making this video for my request!
You're like the fifth person I've seen thank him for taking their suggestion. Maybe humble yourself and realize you're not responsible for someone else's work
Yeah, maybe you’re right.
@@HiSpace2013. No I'm just jaded I'm sorry :(
Oh.
Love the editing Marcus
yoo W emortal upload (bro the first video made me feel so disturbed 💀)
Fun fact:I remember seeing this when I was 6….. I’m not kidding, I remember it
I've seen the first video but I didn't realize it was a series! That's super cool to learn!
Same!
I had NO idea there was more to the first video. It’s so cool being able to see more in depth into a story I thought was a one off thing.
Just wanna say that this is so insanely cool!! I felt so attached to these characters in such a short time. They honestly felt like they could be my friends. ALSO this feels so real!! These guys are awesome actors and so good at making uncanny videos! I'm here from Coryxkenshin! I just HAD to see the rest of the series but I didn't feel comfty doing it alone so TYSMMM for making this video man.
Hey man, nice job getting the Sponsor anyway the man in the suit got a new episode and I think it has enough info to make a video about it
This is the only time, the camera man dies.
insane sponsorship, congrats!!!
u deserve it all and more :')
Love you Marcus started watching you almost a year ago!

Spoilers: That masked guy at the end has to be James 2 *or* 3. There's no other logical conclusion. He runs off (for no reason), WITH A MASK, then doesn't get seen or mentioned again for the entirety of the conclusion? Feels deliberate that he runs off with a mask, and then that guy appears. Idk how he's making the car do what it does and not everything is answered but maybe, just maybe, it's some type of Ghost activity.
Yes, a time loop is part of it but what if the masked man is one of the JAmes' as a ghost OR as someone with the potential to lock the loop to a point. Just food for thought, it's one of the only things that makes sense. Because otherwise, the car acting the way it does doesn't make sense. Yes, time loops don't either but that one felt plain weird even in the first video. Plus we see the attire of the cowboy hat masked man, and, clearly, he's very similarly dressed to James 2/3, and, in all honesty, again, it's the only answer that can be drawn. It can't be the camera guy, btw, because that just wouldn't align with the evidence we have now. We've never seen the camera person, we don't have much on them and, honestly, it's... confusing.
i hope they make more for this series but i doubt it.
This is really well made :)
I've started watching the video when he uploaded it, i've just watched it all, amazing
4:54 theres a arm on the window
Lowkey getting a part time job because im too broke to join the channel but really want to
