Bereamic Awesome Movie

Srakumsatic A-maz-ing

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

ThomasBleedPHD Have you ever wondered what an Asylum Films version of Slenderman would look like? Why? Why did you will this into reality by thinking about it? Ugh, whatever.There have been a couple of Slenderman movies over the past couple of years, and pretty much all of them are bad. I can't speak to the quality of the HBO documentary, but I don't necessarily count that one anyway.Although Slenderman is a beloved part of internet folklore, he's a copyrighted character. Somebody owns him and has exclusive rights to use the character. That means if you don't have his permission to make a Slenderman movie, you won't make a Slenderman movie. Unless of course, you avoid ever using the character's actual name or likeness, play with him just enough to make him recognizable but never actually show him, and just call him a "Slender Being" instead of his actual name.That's how this movie came to be. A zero-budget, zero-talent, zero- originality schlockfest that rips off the notability and likeness of Slenderman but stops just short of anything that can get them sued, this is a Z-movie bootleg.Even if you can forgive the movie for being a tasteless ripoff (I can forgive "Due Date" for being a blatant ripoff of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" because it's entertaining) you'll find yourself being slowly tortured by the bad editing, endless filler, scenes that never pay off, scenes that have nothing to do with the rest of the movie, scenes of people yammering about nothing, and massive flaws that go directly against the most basic rules of filmmaking. This movie is a disaster, like bad poetry in motion.If I held this movie to normal standards, I'd have to call it one of the worst films ever made. However, I can't even count this as a real film. Generally, "indie" films are excluded from my list of the very worst (because there's so, so many bad ones) unless they can hit that sweet spot where they're coherent enough to count as a real movie, but bad enough to be garbage.This is not coherent enough to be a "real" film. This movie is a mess. This is a bootleg Slenderman film, and it isn't even a good bootleg. Avoid it like you'd avoid the real Slenderman.

shmarie Extreme let down of a film. I really liked the movie Always Watching (that was my first foray into the Slenderman character) and when I saw this pop up on iTunes New and Noteworthy section of horror movies I got giddy. The trailer looked good but I was not impressed. Whoever made the trailer should get all the income generated from viewers who download this thing. There are brief hints at Slenderman, but the movie is mostly low-budget filler (as earlier reported by other reviewers) and honestly, my favorite part was the beginning because the old dude at the bar was really funny. However, although I gave it an extra star for that, it is NOT why I watched/bought this movie! The filmmakers should go for a different genre because horror isn't their forte. The other 2 stars are for decent acting and a few mild moments which I was interested.

Daniel Runyan "Slender" features a group of friends who decide they want to make their own documentary, after seeing a woman rant on a train about a tall man with no face they find their story. I don't know where to start on this film, i'll start with a positive and that is the acting is actually really solid. Everyone does a good job making their character believable. As far as positives go that is all I can say. The characters are ass holes with next to no likable traits. The story is a mess, it jumps all over the place from as far as 1 year in the future and as far as 5 years in the past. It makes the story confusing and sometimes causes the story to straight up go off the rails. In a scene with the lead detective on the missing kids case they tell you his partner died in a car crash then immediately show you patrol footage that straight up shows him get out of his car and get killed (off screen of course). Maybe these are the worst detectives in the world so maybe we shouldn't judge. Slender Man NEVER shows up in this movie, he is talked about and teased but he doesn't show up not even for a second of this film. Each scene feels like filler that unfortunately goes no where. Its 1 hour and 22 minutes that you could spend doing a million better things than watching this dumpster fire of a movie. I can't recommend this movie to anyone, avoid it at all costs. Maybe one day we will get a good movie based on Slender Man but this isn't that film.

John Brown In my adventures in looking for some good movies, I came across "Slender", one of those fake documentary horror films that show a bunch of people making a documentary only to reveal to themselves a terrifying truth. Alright, I like what some people can do with that. But this, this movie was simply a video of a bunch of pricks only really focusing on this poor lady who lost her two sons. And that's just a summary of the film.The movie starts with a video recorded on a train of a seemingly crazy woman talking about a monster with tentacles and no face taking her children. Wonder who the monster was... (SlenderMovieCover.jpeg) And then it goes to my favorite pricks ever, one of them wanting to make a film! So we meet our group, boring filler happens and finally 30 minutes in it starts acting like a documentary. We find crazy lady and they interview her, not happy enough they decide to invade her dead children's old room, surprised that it has stayed the same for 5 years(This is what parents do when a child goes missing, they hope the child will return and keep the room the same. It's very sad actually...) We then leave poor lady at her house for a god damn year. During this time, the director decides the documentary is about fear and what it does to people. For them to show the effects of fear, they decide to prank this woman who is still looking for her sons after 5 god damn years and in the directors words, "pull the rug out from under her feet." They do this by dressing one of them in a costume of this spooky monster to pop up and scare her at her kid's old school. In the basement. So basically, they're gonna give her a big ol' middle finger with a note saying "Your kids are dead, deal with it." This ends up having them discover that the monster is real! How, you ask? Well the poor lady arrives at the school, dies what can only be guessed to have been the most terrifying and painful moment she ever was able to experience, and they all die except for the director, who ends the film in a dark classroom saying "You're not real, you're not real."
