I mean, this should have came out like four years ago when Slender Man was popular, but not now. The popularity has kinda died out.

'Slender Man' is a water down horror movie with more yawns than thrills. It's painfully dull. So boring in fact, I actually fell asleep 12 minutes into it. Of course I had to re-watch it which was horrible.

There's nothing redeemable or anything good about 'Slender Man'. The script is terrible with endless amount of horror movie clichés you thought died out for good. The cliché of how teenagers talk in these type of horror movies. Not forgetting the questionable decisions that leads to their demise.

All the performances were pretty bad and not convincing during the more "scary" elements - Just made the scenes more funny to be honest. Joey King is on a winning streak recently by starring in terrible movies, and she's really bad in the movie.

The atmosphere or tension is none existent to build up any suspense, just loud jump scares through out. Most of the quiet scenes felt like filler than anything else. When it tries to be creepy, it's embarrassing.

Overall rating: Sony, YOU HACKS!… Expand

IF this had been your first horror movie you've ever seen or first horror movie ever made THEN it might be even remotely creepy or scary. This movie is pretty generic and cliche and rushed. Studio involvement totally got in here somewhere.

Slender Man fails at being a horror movie, but it unintentionally may be the laugh-out-loud comedy of the year. Where to begin? I guess we can start with the acting. You know how there's that horror movie cliche where the characters wearingSlender Man fails at being a horror movie, but it unintentionally may be the laugh-out-loud comedy of the year. Where to begin? I guess we can start with the acting. You know how there's that horror movie cliche where the characters wearing the least amount of clothes die at the beginning, but the surviving characters lose more and more clothing as the movie goes on? Well, Slender Man is like that, but if the acting got worse as the movie goes on. I mean, there is some intense scenery chewing from our leading ladies. To put it bluntly, the script is a lazy mess. It doesn't follow it's own rules for how Slender Man behaves. Characters say and do random things that are never brought up again (like the main character being on the track team, which is never ever used by the story). Some scenes read like an emo highschool girl's BDSM fantasy. Several scenes rip off of Marble Hornets very poorly. There are several "dream-within-a-dream" scenes that are laughable at best and boring at worst. In fact, that's a good analogy for this whole movie. Half of the movie is hilarious and the other half put me to sleep!

Now for Slender Man himself. Sometimes he looks like a bloke wearing a tube sock on his head. Other times he looks absolutely T H I C C. Like, this guy has some hips that just don't quit. He's not very slender at all! Also, some of his effects look like the crew for Birdemic came in and did the CGI. There's a shot of him standing in the woods in broad daylight with UNFINISHED tentacle renders floating behind him. Also, there's a chase scene at the very end of the movie that looked like a PS1 era cutscene. It was so cringey it was a riot.

The soundtrack is the only saving grace of this film. Ramin Djwadi did the music, and there are some good horror vibes and ambient noises. The end credit music is easily the best music in the film, although that may have been colored by how happy I was for Slender Man to finally be over. This is a GREAT bad movie to watch with friends. If you actually like being scared, just don't.… Expand

I feel like slender man needs to put out a statement saying that he doesn't condone this film at all, they really did him dirty smh, DO NOT waste your money.… Expand

I watched this movie with a friend of mine who wanted to see it. I had no interest in watching it, but she did and I wanted to go because I guess it might have been at least funny.

I had no interest in watching it, but she did and I wanted to go because I guess it might have been at least funny. And it kind of was. We were basically ripping on it, making our own MST3K commentary on the film. There were two other people in the theater, and I'm pretty sure they were on a date night and we both ruined it. Suffice to say we both had a fun time watching it. And honestly if I wasn't watching it with her and making fun of it, I would probably be a lot madder at this movie. Because regardless of the viewing experience, the hype is real! This movie is as bad as people made it out to be! Like I thought that maybe I can find a positive about this film, but honestly it's been a long time since I've seen a movie that is fundamentally broken! Like I cannot think of a single thing about this movie that worked! Maybe there are some creepy imagery that worked, but there are far better horror films with the same imagery that work a lot better! I guess the sound design is also kind of decent too, if you ignore all the stock sound effects. Other than that, nothing!

The acting is horrible! Like not a single actor in this movie is good! They are all terrible! But I mean even with good actors could not save the writing of these "characters!" None of them get developed! They are all interchangeable suburban teenage girls, except one is apparently a track star, one has red hair, one's black, and one looks like a cross between Regan from the Exorcist and Chloe Grace Moretz! There's no main character as the movie shifts around the four leads but they all act the same! It's basically one spirit character of whine and whimper and make faces that probably look like they are scared! The directing is **** Not only did director Sylvian White not direct the actors to be good, but so much of the framing and shot composition is **** He couldn't make a movie scary because it is filled with jump scares! Nothing but jump scares! There are creepy imagery, but it is blatant how hard the movie wants to be the Ring of the YouTube generation! The editing is also bad, making the timeline of events confusing and jarring! The rules also do not make sense! One of the scenes have the girls give up something precious to them, but they have to be blindfolded to do so and not take it off to look at Slender Man, or else you'll go nuts. Well one of the girls did, and yet they all start going crazy? Like Slender Man is a troll! Speaking of him, if you are afraid of ****ty CGI monsters, then do not watch this movie! Otherwise the Slender Man looks stupid and ridiculous! The plot drags out as not much happen! It's not even a fun movie to watch on it's own it's just a drag to watch!

It's not like a Slender Man movie can be good. Because it can be, but there was no way a Hollywood adaptation of the Internet legend would be anything but bull****, let alone a movie made by Sony! If you want a decent Slender Man story, go look up Marble Hornets or Everyman Hybrid on YouTube. You want a good horror film like this about creepy imagery and a cursed video, go watch the Ring. If you want to watch a good horror film about scary white people, go watch Get Out! I can kind of recommend this movie if you want to watch it with friends and rip it apart as like a bad movie night. But even then it's not really all that much of a fun bad movie to watch. It's just flat out bad. Don't waste your time! But if you do, just imagine every time the bell rings, it's really just Taco Bell and Slender Man wants his victims to try their new Nacho Fries. And nothing is more scary than eating Taco Bell!… Expand

This film is lazy, ugly, derivative, boring, monotonous, dull, dreadful and moronic. I’m sure there are more words to describe it but to list them here would be an insult to the English language.

Slender Man is truly one of the worst films I’ve seen in years. The writing is clunky and on par with a first draft, the acting is stiff and phoned in, and there’s little sense of direction to be found anywhere in the movie. Slender ManSlender Man is truly one of the worst films I’ve seen in years. The writing is clunky and on par with a first draft, the acting is stiff and phoned in, and there’s little sense of direction to be found anywhere in the movie. Slender Man himself looks like he’s wearing a sock over his head. Unfortunately, this movie is a complete flop in the horror department as well. When they’re not unintentionally funny, the scares are mostly flat and lame (but don’t worry, the movie compensates with obnoxiously loud music). Even if you get scared at first, you probably won’t get scared by the end, because this movie is as repetitive as all get out. As an example, there’s a certain scene in which a character gets scared by Slender Man and then wakes up in bed, only to immediately get scared and wake up again. Seriously. It’s enough to make me wonder if this film is intentionally bad, because I can’t imagine that anyone who was making this film thought this was passable. Above all, this “movie” is a feeble attempt to cash in on an internet trend that faded into obscurity long before the movie came out.… Expand

About as complex and compelling as this review. Now I need to pad this to be at least 75 characters long before I can post on Metacritic. Success. When do I get paid?

Gracias al cielo que a mi país aun no se ha estrenado, con lo incoherente que es el trailer se nota a leguas que es la peor película de terror de los ultimos tiempos junto a The Crucifixion...

It was neither scary or interesting, The "acting" is laughable and it really is a movie that they wanted far too long to do. They should have done during the initial Slender Man craze rather than years later when it's all but dead and gone. And a big issue for me is that the film is so dark, You can barely see the special effects. Heck, Slender Man is rarely even onscreen let alone viewable.… Expand
