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.

Johannes K 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Nick R 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Lucas F 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Sara A 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Kept falling asleep, wouldn’t really recommend Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
