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.

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.

Horror Movie Talk

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.

Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são ruins, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, o filme tenta ser assustador mas não consegui, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.

Really great movie about a classic creepypasta. Slender Man was a really scary movie. I loved Slender Man, I think critics are wrong about the movie being bad, because I thought it was absolutely amazing!

I'd rather let a toddler circumcise me with a plastic spoon and a jar of peanut butter than watching this film which is my least favorite film of all time
