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.

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

Slender Man is that special type of horrible that has no reason to exist whatsoever.

I watch it when I have nothing else to watch or when I need to pass the time. The movie is not great, not scary, but when I was a child I was obsessed with slenderman, so I have a certain affection with the movie just because it talks about it. Besides the feelings, the movie is weak and unfortunately very bad.

A horror film that tries to take itself seriously but fails. The cgi is horrible and the jumpscares are not scary. I'm convinced most of the time making the film was spent on the trailer, then the actual film. Slender man has some of the most stupidest characters I've ever seen. The lightning is very dark. Very. You can't even see what is happening most of the time. I wouldn't recommend to watch this film unless you want to see low intelligent teenagers try to survive against the low quality cgi

This movie is way better, than you would expect from these ratings here. I have to admit, that the actors are a bit colorless and not outstanding in their performance, nor is the story super-duper-fancy-smart-new. But what I have to say: I have seen a lot of horror-movies, therefore it is not as easy at it used to be to give me goosebumps or to scare me. But this movie was successful with both. Camera-perspectives, color-setting, Slenderman as it is, music and sound-design have been really good. It doesn't get 4 or more stars from me, because there are of course much better horror-movies out there, where 'scaryness', acting, story and atmosphere are just perfect. But this one is definately worth a watch, if you would like to get scared on a certain degree and if you want to enjoy a unique demon/villain/monster.

A pathetic film that's a disaster and from beginning to end. Go just watch 'Marble Hornets' on Youtube. Heck most youtube series about the Slender Man are infinitely better than this "attempt" to bring the horror to the big screen.

After carefully watching this incredulous movie from tantalising start to fulfilling ending and carefully analysing every second to extract all the lore this movie holds. I have discovered the true meaning of this tear-wrenchingly scary movie, This movie is fucking ass

In my 28 years of living, this is the first time where I decide to make an account to write a hateful comment. This is the worst movie I have ever seen, calling it a movie is a stretch, it seems like a highschool project.
