Slender (2016)

best movie i've ever seen.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I can't believe this is what passes for horror nowadays. At least the tag line sounds about right. "Once you see this you can't unsee this"

This is a found footage film about Slender Man meant to be a documentary on two missing children, supposedly abducted. It takes 8 minutes before the group decide what they want to film poorly. They opt for a fictional anorexic figure which they apparently have never witnessed. Milli (Mili Parks) is the mother of said children and they PLOT SPOILER decide to surprise her with a fake Slender Man they created as a joke,Okay, I am not going to tell you how that works out, but like most found footage junk, you don't get to see the title character. There was nothing interesting about the film.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. For those of us who have seen the real slender man, he normally appears at dawn or dusk when the shadows are long, almost never in bright daylight or at night. He comes out from the right side, not left like you see with the police footage. He is all black, no white markings. Slender, but not abnormally tall. He can travel alone, in numbers or with a wolf-like creature. And BTW you don't have to believe in him to see him

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.

"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.
