Slender Man, Slender Man, does whatever a slender can
Okay, so I was super stoked to see Slender Man in theatres. I was set to go! I was READY. Then my coworker asked me to go to a concert, so at the last minute I went to this concert. The concert was fine and all, but I spent the whole show standing on the floor in wedge rainboots. Wedge rainboots are cute and everything, but they're not great for standing for three hours in. So after this concert was over, I took my rainboots off. I know what you're saying. "Royal," you're saying, "what does this story have to do with Slender Man?" I hear you. I'm getting to it.I took off my rainboots and started to walk with my coworker to the bus station. En route to the bus station, my coworker discovers that the last bus has already left, and then tells me that I am going to "have to hustle" and walk to the next closest bus stop, which is a mile and a half away. So I wound up walking a mile and a half in bare feet across sidewalks and asphalt all over Pittsburgh because of this clown. By the time I got home, I had blisters on the soles of my feet. The goodnight kiss I received from my coworker was not worth blisters on the soles of my feet. Honestly, nothing is worth blisters on the soles of your feet. The worst part about all this was that I couldn't even call him a rude name and holler about blisters on the soles of my feet, because he had diabetic neuropathy and didn't even have toes, so how am I supposed to top that? As you can see, I wished I had stuck with my original plan and seen Slender Man instead. So I rented it and I am so glad I did! It was actually really good. I can't believe all the negative hype I heard about this movie, actually. I like how modern horror movies have integrated modern technology, like teens being on the internet and on their phones, because I think that even though we do those things frequently, they're kind of difficult to tell a story around. All of the main actresses were very good and natural. None of the dialogue seemed forced or corny. A friend gave me a spoiler about the use of like a video call within the story, and made it seem like it was going to be terrible, but it was actually really creepy! I felt like the video call was the modern equivalent of "and the murderer was LISTENING IN ON THE EXTENSION" trope that was so popular when I was younger, and I always found that really terrifying, so it completely worked for me. I really like the mythos of Slender Man, and I remember watching Marble Hornets late at night with friends in my dorm room, so I really enjoyed this movie. And I hate and despise movies, so that is really saying a lot.

Not creepy, but enough well driven suspense to make for a good evening scare *Spoilers*
I haven't seen movies around this story of slenderman, but I must admit I was not expecting much. The acting and writing was pretty good but it did cut out a couple of times which kind of hurt the plot (like the sacrificial woods scene where they all run around after deciding not to take their blindfolds off. The suspense and scenes where the "mental" part of how slender affects people was well done - especially the hospital scene. The scene with the gorwing shadow was also well done. I wish there was more explanation and discovery of the history behind slenderman as this could have added to the lore and added value to the tale of slenderman. Last seen is very creepy and satisfyingingly horrifying in a sense and a couple of scenes add this element well with the environment. A couple of plot holes opened up and some of the stories of the main characters just flew out the window - I wish we could have maybe seen some more on where exactly people are brought by slenderman - again it might have added some eeriness and mystery behind his work of kidnapping people.My main point is that we don't learn much about his origin or his story. I wish this could have been explored and delved into - I believe this would have added an element to the movie that makes us wonder why slender man does what he does! Hope to see something better in the future!

It's okay
It arrived quickly and the disc works. I took off a star because the clasp that holds the DVD in it is broken so the DVD isn't secured in the case. The movie itself isn't as good as I remembered but that's my fault, not the sellers.
T**!
Better than I expected based upon reading other reviews. The good kind of creepy.
I have no idea why so many people slammed this movie with mediocre reviews. I really hope more people watch this movie. I mean, have these other reviewers ever seen season 2 of Stranger Things? Boooring. and so repetitive. And way too many hours long. I actually got goosebumps watching Slender Man at several points. Goosebumps are uncommon for me, even though I am mostly numb to the sorts of things in movies and life that typically scare people. Slender Man is creatively shot, well directed, and edited down to a length of your life you won't wish to trade back for any other experience. There are some beautifully placed halos from careful lighting and camera lens placement. And also - check out the sweet Blumenstein Audio Triton speakers in the make-out scene with Abercrombie Tom about 59 minutes in. Excellent product placement, just like the Sony cell phones... I am not sure if there can be a perfect horror movie for everyone, but this one checks all the boxes for me. It was nice n creepy. I particularly liked the maggots, sound effects, face scooped out long hair girl in the tub. I really shouldn't give away any more spoilers. However, if you want to get yourself so scared that you poop your pants some tonight, then look no further than Sony Pictures Slender Man. This one delivers the goods, the bads, the "oh my god why are all these kids alone without their parents," "don't go in there," "turn around," and the other sorts of classic moments you'd expect. My partner and I had to follow this one up with Nine Inch Nail's "Happiness in Slavery (banned full version is on Vimeo) as a palette cleanser. Ahhh...more yummy maggots!

Not ground breaking in topic but in casting
It's very rare to come across a film about all girls. When you do it's "GIRL POWER" and "Boys are the worst! Revenge!" or whatever Spice Girls thing they want to say. This never does that. It's a horror film that stars four girls and their experiences with Slender Man. It's ridiculously rare. And I appreciate that they didn't do the "slutty girl dies first"/"token POC dies first", then the couple, then the tough one, and finally the normal relatable one lives. This didn't do that. And in a film that was, fine, it's nice to see that change. I would watch it again.

The worst thing since Justin Beiber.
If I could give it 0 stars I would. To class this film as a horror is ridiculous. Don’t buy it, not even if you’re reading this in 2024 and it’s now £1.99. Save the money and buy a lightsaber, god I hope we have those by 2024...... that’ll be awesome.But yeah don’t buy the film it’s awful.#2024yearofthelightsabers

Terrible movie!
Out of all the great horrors I've seen, this one has to be one of the worst. The acting is bad, the plot was hard to understand, utterly disappointed by this movie.

AWFUL UNFINISHED STORY
I love my horrors and was so excited for this. It wasn't scary, had bad actors and it didn't even finish the story properly. What happened to the girl with the curly hair?Avoid Avoid Avoid, don't waste your money like I did.

watched once
