Small-town best friends Hallie, Chloe, Wren and Katie go online to try and conjure up the Slender Man -- a tall, thin, horrifying figure whose face has no discernible features. Two weeks later, Katie mysteriously disappears during a class trip to a historic graveyard. Determined to find her, the girls soon suspect that the legend of the Slender Man may be all too real.

Critics Consensus

Slender Man might be thin, but he's positively robust compared to the flimsy assortment of scares generated by the would-be chiller that bears his name.

The girls are so poorly defined that they're practically interchangeable; when the bogeyman starts making them disappear one by one, you may not realize at first that any of them are gone.

Slender Man essentially feels like a movie created from a how-to guide to horror. Step one: apply drab color palette with hazy blues, greens, and neutrals. Step 2: make sure all set pieces look like generic, creepy locations.

If you thought the bogeyman was slender, wait till you see the film.

Not redeemable, not enjoyable, not so bad that it’s good, just bad in the same way as when you realize you have explosive diarrhea – there is no good time for it, and you just wish it never happened.

Slender Man aims to bring the sinister character to the big screen, but it painfully disappoints.

I really wish I could like this movie, but I can’t This was such a disappointment to me Cinematography is way too dark Characters are dumb And the plot barely has any plot I really wish that this would be a lot better I really hope more slender man movies come out though only if they’re made by creative writers

An interesting premise based on the original internet story by Victor Surge and its wide spread popularity, but is very sadly drenched by poor and goofy effects, cliché scares, a confusing direction of the story, and it focusing too much on how popular the character is rather than the character itself.

The movie literally makes no sense, the actors didn't follow up with the rules of summoning the slenderman and somehow still summoned him, it wasn't scary at all. Slenderman barely makes an appearance, the movie hardly tried to make slender man how he is portrayed originally. And then when the girls tried to get their friend back, they had to sacrifice random things like a hat and a picture. the movie is just very cringe and was so confusing the entire time.

It's sad really, as someone who grew up obsessed with the Creppy pasta stories had I really high hopes for this movie. It was too slow and just not that good.
