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.

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.

1.5/5

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.

If you thought the bogeyman was slender, wait till you see the film.

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.

Slender Man aims to bring the sinister character to the big screen, but it painfully disappoints.

I dont understand all the bad reviews on this movie; I kept waiting for it to get stupid or dull or at least have a bad ending but none of the above came true. This is a hidden gem. Super spooky psychological thriller with an ominous small town vibe. Plus i loved all the characters. It was one of the best horrors Ive seen in awhile. Ignore the hate on this one and give it a watch. Think: IT meets The Ring; but better than The Ring.

This movie is poorly made, it's like the director decided to copy and paste between "the ring" and "truth or dare" and slapped slenderman on there and call it a day. It's like they never took the opportunity to read the creepypasta or play the video games of this character. I would rank it higher if they just remade it, do a deeper research on the lore and the character itself than just copy and paste the same ideas from other movie. If you like it fine, but this is how I felt over 9 years now and as a creepypasta and horror story fan .

This movie made many memories for me!! Watched it when it first came out and it was the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. Me and my brothers were crying laughing in the theater that we almost had to walk out for a few moments because we were afraid we were disturbing people next to us😁👍🏽
