ThomasBleedPHD Have you ever wondered what an Asylum Films version of Slenderman would look like? Why? Why did you will this into reality by thinking about it? Ugh, whatever.There have been a couple of Slenderman movies over the past couple of years, and pretty much all of them are bad. I can't speak to the quality of the HBO documentary, but I don't necessarily count that one anyway.Although Slenderman is a beloved part of internet folklore, he's a copyrighted character. Somebody owns him and has exclusive rights to use the character. That means if you don't have his permission to make a Slenderman movie, you won't make a Slenderman movie. Unless of course, you avoid ever using the character's actual name or likeness, play with him just enough to make him recognizable but never actually show him, and just call him a "Slender Being" instead of his actual name.That's how this movie came to be. A zero-budget, zero-talent, zero- originality schlockfest that rips off the notability and likeness of Slenderman but stops just short of anything that can get them sued, this is a Z-movie bootleg.Even if you can forgive the movie for being a tasteless ripoff (I can forgive "Due Date" for being a blatant ripoff of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" because it's entertaining) you'll find yourself being slowly tortured by the bad editing, endless filler, scenes that never pay off, scenes that have nothing to do with the rest of the movie, scenes of people yammering about nothing, and massive flaws that go directly against the most basic rules of filmmaking. This movie is a disaster, like bad poetry in motion.If I held this movie to normal standards, I'd have to call it one of the worst films ever made. However, I can't even count this as a real film. Generally, "indie" films are excluded from my list of the very worst (because there's so, so many bad ones) unless they can hit that sweet spot where they're coherent enough to count as a real movie, but bad enough to be garbage.This is not coherent enough to be a "real" film. This movie is a mess. This is a bootleg Slenderman film, and it isn't even a good bootleg. Avoid it like you'd avoid the real Slenderman.

DatBoi No, seriously, Slender Man LITERALLY never shows up in the entire film. At all. If you make it through the whole movie without almost falling asleep, good on you. What a joke. Also I get that it's supposed to be found footage, but it gets very annoying when they keep switching to the phone camera footage filmed vertically. I don't want to keep talking about this stupid movie, but it needs to be put out there that this film is a straight up bait a switch. A few poor souls out there will watch because they like the character, and I feel sorry knowing how let down they will be. Because again, besides a character who dresses up as him, Slender Man himself shows up zero times in this movie. I guess it is implied that he is there a few times, but even if he is best when in the background, you should at least get to see him once or twice. Or, you know, at all. Anything else? Well, there's a boring bit in the middle that's interviewing some boring characters that lasts forever with nothing happening. It is SO dull it is honestly impressive, even the supposed climax. This movie is false advertising and I want my 10 bucks back.

John Brown In my adventures in looking for some good movies, I came across "Slender", one of those fake documentary horror films that show a bunch of people making a documentary only to reveal to themselves a terrifying truth. Alright, I like what some people can do with that. But this, this movie was simply a video of a bunch of pricks only really focusing on this poor lady who lost her two sons. And that's just a summary of the film.The movie starts with a video recorded on a train of a seemingly crazy woman talking about a monster with tentacles and no face taking her children. Wonder who the monster was... (SlenderMovieCover.jpeg) And then it goes to my favorite pricks ever, one of them wanting to make a film! So we meet our group, boring filler happens and finally 30 minutes in it starts acting like a documentary. We find crazy lady and they interview her, not happy enough they decide to invade her dead children's old room, surprised that it has stayed the same for 5 years(This is what parents do when a child goes missing, they hope the child will return and keep the room the same. It's very sad actually...) We then leave poor lady at her house for a god damn year. During this time, the director decides the documentary is about fear and what it does to people. For them to show the effects of fear, they decide to prank this woman who is still looking for her sons after 5 god damn years and in the directors words, "pull the rug out from under her feet." They do this by dressing one of them in a costume of this spooky monster to pop up and scare her at her kid's old school. In the basement. So basically, they're gonna give her a big ol' middle finger with a note saying "Your kids are dead, deal with it." This ends up having them discover that the monster is real! How, you ask? Well the poor lady arrives at the school, dies what can only be guessed to have been the most terrifying and painful moment she ever was able to experience, and they all die except for the director, who ends the film in a dark classroom saying "You're not real, you're not real."

manuelasaez This has to be a joke. I mean, who seriously thought the quality of this movie even resembles that of a real, honest-to-goodness film? There is absolutely nothing redeemable about this movie, and aside from some of the acting, it offers nothing new, unique or interesting to the Slenderman mythos, or even the found-footage sub-genre as a whole. The cast is narcissistic and unlikable (3/4th's of the film is spend "getting to know" these jerks), and once things start to get mildly interesting, it falls flat like a full and soiled diaper. Once the credits started to roll, I wondered what I was doing wasting my time on this crap. From now on, if a movie does not have at least 10 reviews, I am not even going to bother watching it. It's bad enough that these untalented people released this festival of feces onto the world, but I'll be damned if I support it with my hard earned money.To the people responsible; if you don't have the budget, the talent or the skill, just stop. You are only making yourselves look bad, and are making a mockery of the once respect craft known as film-making. Leave film-making to people who actually understand what it takes to make a compelling movie, as you have proved to lack any ability to do so. I will be looking for your names in any future film in order to avoid it like it is contagious. Simply tragic. F-
