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.

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

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.

Rated: 2/10

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

This movie was genuinely put the "horr"or in horrible, I watched it with a friend and we both were literally falling asleep. We could not remember any of the main ''protagonist's" names except at the very end after they shouted it so many times. Only reason we even finished the movie was out of pure pettiness.

It’s a decent movie I guess… I would’ve given it a one star but it got nostalgia points. Little me would’ve loved this. The girls are stupid, and the movie is poorly written. I don’t recommend. I feel like this movie was made for fun, not for seriousness.

This movie is the most terribly written movie I have ever seen in my life, we could hardly see in the night scenes because it is so dark. Do not waste your time on this dogshit movie, I'd rather watch Sharknado over this garbage ever again. No one here knows how to act, this movie single-handedly ended everyone involved and their careers.

Slenderman is a very interesting character, my favorite Creepypasta. But this movie is a disgrace and wasted all the potential of the film.
