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 David Day 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 Jul 25, 2025 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 Read all reviews

Audience Member don’t watch it 😭🥀 plot was terrible, acting, and wasn’t even scary. slender man lowkey got that cat walk tho😛 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Nathan G I really don't understand the hate I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, so.e amazing transitions Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Damian D Absolutely ass. The acting is so bad middle-schoolers could do better. The thing that pisses me off the most is that one scene where we just see some flashing images (like illuminati triangles and disgusting distorted images) for no reason. if Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie 8%, then the slenderman creepypastas get 100%. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Guilherme M I wish slender was the only terrible thing here. Watching old Minecraft creepypasta of Slenderman is more entertaining than to watch this movie.. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Grace A Terrible. Acting is really cringy. Had to turn this off because I got bored. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Emil P Absolutely terrible. One of the worst horror movies ever. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
