They decide to summon Slender Man to bargain for Katie which goes as well as you might expect. Not that they have the emotional range to actually seem like they care about Katie or the events that follow. This decision that Slender Man was involved comes out of nowhere from the characters stand-point and makes them all seem like idiots. Forget that she was very unhappy and talked about running away, nope the supernatural internet meme did it. This leads to Wren believing that Katie was taken by Slender Man. Over the following weeks her friends try to find her but everyone, including law enforcement, comes up short. Afterwards, most of the girls forget about it except Katie who has dreams before disappearing completely on school field trip. It’s as simple as watching a video on the net and following the very easy instructions. So what do all teenage girls do at sleepovers? Watch hardcore porn and summon Slender Man. Suddenly it’s sleepover night at Katie who has her drunken father and unhappy life hilariously forced in. We get the briefest of character development before the movie decides we’ve seen enough to convince us of the four’s friendship. The movie opens introducing us to four friends Wren (Joey King), Hallie (Julia Goldani Telles), Chloe (Jaz Sinclair) and Katie (Annalise Basso). As a character he will never be taken seriously again. Well, thanks to the combined efforts of everyone involved Slender Man is dead. Slender Man is one of the worst horror movies of 2018 seemingly expecting movie-goers to flock to see it based on the character alone. For it to be devoid of plot, for it to have terrible pacing, for it to have so many holes and for it to have a shockingly lacklustre ending.
I was right but what I didn’t expect was for it to be far worse. Simply put, I expected nothing more then a supernatural horror with jump scares at every turn. A character that has already gone beyond the point of being stale.Įxpectations were low going into this film. A movie based off a character that has no basis in reality no matter how hard the Internet tries to tell you otherwise. The year is 2018 and we have had our Slender Man movie. A high-profile horror movie based on a character whose origins are traced back to a Creepy Pasta Internet meme in 2009 seems like a joke.
