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.

Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 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. Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 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. Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian If you thought the bogeyman was slender, wait till you see the film. Rated: 2/5 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It Slender Man aims to bring the sinister character to the big screen, but it painfully disappoints. Jan 2, 2021 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof Slenderman deserves an opportunity to be seen as a respectable horror film. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Matt Cipolla Film Monthly Slender Man is that special type of horrible that has no reason to exist whatsoever.

Anna S So boring and bland, I slept in on it in the first 15 minutes. Good concept, but the execution is horrendous. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review August M As a Fan of the Original Slenderman creepypasta story and the character himself this is a huge way of disrespecting the source material I mean Sony did you even do your research on the character well partially yes but tone wise not at all because Slenderman is meant to be Comedic but rather the way he was presented in the first trailer and Slenderman is a character who doesn’t normally resonate with a somewhat younger demographic but rather the demographic that an R rating would work with plus he’s meant to be this scary and unnerving character and in my opinion Blumhouse would’ve been a better choice for adapting Slenderman to the big screen faithfully. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Nicholas M They should have made a Mr Hankey the Christmas poo 💩 movie instead, at least that if it ended up a big ol' steaming pile at least it would live up to its name. Horrible movie , had potential to be cool and ended up more blank of creativity then the antagonist's face. Only left half a star because I couldn't leave it zero .... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Fake N All the girls are written the same so much so they're interchangeable with each other. The jump scares are so predictable. The story itself is really boring it's basically a film about girls getting hallucinations. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Slender man is that one movie you have high expectations for when you watch the trailer, but when you watch the actual movie it sucks Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review McKinnon A I actually like this movie even slender man is my favorite character.
