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.

What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

If you thought the bogeyman was slender, wait till you see the film. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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

SammySam18 T @RT61428428 20h This movie is poorly made, it's like the director decided to copy and paste between "the ring" and "truth or dare" and slapped slenderman on there and call it a day. It's like they never took the opportunity to read the creepypasta or play the video games of this character. I would rank it higher if they just remade it, do a deeper research on the lore and the character itself than just copy and paste the same ideas from other movie. If you like it fine, but this is how I felt over 9 years now and as a creepypasta and horror story fan . See more Jacob W @Jdub17 5d This movie made many memories for me!! Watched it when it first came out and it was the funniest movie I’ve ever seen.
