All around, Slender Man sucks.Julia lives in a small town in Washington called Cold Rock. There are exactly three mildly creepy moments and a surprisingly good performance from Joey King, who is way too good for this film.
The characters are boring, the protagonist is unlikable, the story is uninteresting, there are too many unresolved subplots, and the movie is difficult to watch because it's hard to see what's going on. Slender Man is one of the worst movies I have seen this year. Movies are a visual medium, when I can't see what is going on, that's a problem. The point is it's tough to see what is going on.
For whatever reason they were cut out and the stories involving Chloe (Jaz Sinclair) and Tom (Alex Fitzalan) are just dropped from the narrative without any real explanation.įinally, a lot of this movie is out of focus, I'm guessing intentionally, but to makes things worse a lot of this movie is extremely dark in terms of lighting. There is a lot of sequences that were in the first trailer that weren't even in the movie. There are also some subplots which never get resolved and seem straight up abandoned.
Most of the scares aren't scary, there is no humor, the characters suck, and the filmmakers didn't do anything to interest me in the story. I could make a more interesting Slender Man movie in my sleep. I played the video game and it scared the hell out of me. Not only are the characters boring, but the story is supremely uninteresting. Wren should have been the main character. Why is she our protagonist? She's a terrible friend and I actually wanted her to just go missing. As soon as things get difficult she straight up abandons the rest of her friends. I didn't care at all if anything bad happened to them.Įven worse is our main protagonist, Hallie (Julia Goldani Telles), who is boring for the first half of the movie, but becomes very unlikeable in the second half. They have no personality and could not possibly be less interesting. They're not even wildly unlikable teens like in Unfriended. Apart from the previously mentioned Wren, all of the characters in this movie suck. But that is all I've got in the positive section. One where they are watching YouTube videos about Slender Man, which I've seen myself and have always found mildly creepy, one brief vision with some decent imagery, and the 3rd act has one creepy visual that actually works. The only other compliment I have for Slender Man is there are exactly three mildly creepy sequences. She is really the only interesting character in the film and the character herself isn't even interesting, it's all Joey King's performance. I will commend Joey King, who plays Wren, one of the teenagers for her performance She acts the hell out of this movie. Now the others have to find a way to save their friend and stop Slender Man from taking the rest of them.ĭon't worry, this segment will be brief.
A few days after watching the video, one of them goes missing. Of course, the friends find a video online that will summon Slender Man.
