The Good: It's Slender Man! Atmospheric Great cast The Bad: Plot falls apart badly Potential isn't met Too many common tropes and cliches Things I Learnt From This Movie: Slender Man mythology is fantastic but really inconsistent, no wonder they get it so wrong with adaptations Joey King and Annalise Basso are going to be big stars Slender Man is like Aliens (Xenomorphs), he needs keeping in the shadows or he looks a bit silly This should have been called The Ring: Slender ManĬurrently, "Slender Man" has the distinction of being on IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 List.the 100 worst rated major release films. Slender Man has it's moments and the concept is pure gold, this however is more squandered potential. Hollywood need to go back to the drawing board, hire indie filmmakers to adapt material otherwise we'll just keep getting this Insidious/Conjuring tripe. Sure it looks great, but the plot tail spins out of control by about the halfway mark and that's such a shame as up until then it was showing real potential. Sadly along with the budget comes all the usual Hollywood horror flaws, demonstrating once again how badly Hollywood have lost their way when it comes to the entire genre.
#SLENDER MAN ANIME MOVIE#
With a decent young cast including Joey King and Annalise Basso we're presented with the glossiest and most high budget Slender Man movie yet. So yet again we see a tale of a group of young folks on the run from the Slender Man and spooky things happen. Filmmakers just don't seem to be able to make the most out of the fantastic material presented before them.
Alike Lovecraft Slender Man seems to be one of those commonly used subject matters that always seeems to miss the mark. It's not great but it's simply not THAT bad. This latest version of the Slender Man mythology seems to be universally reviled though I don't entirely understand why.
