They probably should have made it a found footage movie similar to the game. It would have been more engaging, cheaper, and closer to what people actually would have wanted in a Slender Man movie.

Too little, too late for ole Slendy Boy.

0:12 he was probably on his phone about to buy some DT merch before he was interrupted ;(

Should have come out 8 years ago in 2011 or 2012 The prime of slendy

Slenderman brought out so many weirdos back in the day.

Saw this movie; hoped it would explain the interest. It didn't. Ethan Hawke did it waaaaay better in Sinister. Sinister is a damn fine movie. Slender Man is a movie that should be damned and fined.

Can't wait when in 2025 they will make the 5 Night of Freddie's movie and then Undertale in 2030

Anyone remember korey's playthrough of slender ?

Slenderman: GIMME TWENTY DOLLARS GIMMIW TWENTY DOLLARS

Sony's product placement is CRAZZY in all their movies. The Amazing Spiderman and James Bond is the worst for it

Oh wow I 100% forgot this movie was even a thing.

That end voice over is the greatest thing I've ever heard 😂, I've never heard a movie end on the words "Ya Know?"

Well, I kept my expectations low and I wasn't disappointed. Even though I had no faith in this movie, part of me wishes it was as good as it could have been. Missed opportunity is a good way to put it.

They stole that head shaking thing from Jacob’s Ladder.

They should have had Tom Ford or at least the Men's Wearhouse do some product placement in the movie. Missed opportunity ;)

That trailer looked so shit it made me want to re watch marble hornets

Sony makes phones, just no one buys them...

At about 21:50 : Damn, now I want to see the "Jump Scare Cat Calls His Agent" bit done, with an actual cat talking on the phone :-)

SUPERNATURAL did this idea better in two different episodes

The movie is called Dead Meme The Movie

Damn I haven't heard that name in 6 years.

I say slender man selling oranges in the woods, way too over priced!

The black girl is in the new Sabrina the teenage witch show on Netflix so that makes sense

"You ain't super natural your super predator!" That got me dying. XD

this was a pretty good movie to take a nap to

I liked this movie better when it was called "Marble Hornets". This one gets a "F*** You" from me for ripping off the series that made it popular and giving the creators no credit.

Is Slender man still even popular? I totally forgot about until the first trailer.

I never got the appeal of Slenderman, as a creature I found his design bland and uncreative. Granted it was spooky as that first game with the jumpscare schtick but the whole fan worship of him and overhype kill it for me. The creepy pasta community and the creation of Jeff the killer (a Joker ripoff excuse for naive fangirls to romanticize a serial killer) sum up how the internet isn't really good at creating actual long lasting folklore. They should stick to memes.

You know what they should've done? A documentary/based on a true story of the girls attempting to kill their friend because of Slenderman. Is he real? Or just a creepypasta? You decide

Slenderman " I ain't do nothing to these girls man, Cosby got ahold them before I did" 😂😂😂😂

"I was just here to tell the kids NOT to go off with strangers officer." - Slender Man

Maybe if Slendy got some toasty goodness he'd stop taking kids.

and its pg-13 LOL.

Instead of watching this, I'll just rewatch the old Korey lets plays.

This voice sounds so familiar. Sounds like one of the men from Spill Reviews from way back when. I miss that site and channel so much.

A crazy Business man in a Suit with Tentacles? So Slender Man is just the Love Child of Cthulhu and Al Pacino from "The Devil's Advocate?"

RedLetterMedia created Slenderman! Check it out they have a video where they talk about it in their channel.

Gamefly brings to your house to YOU

Slender man is channeling his inner Christian Grey with that suit!

Am I the only one who can’t get over how Korey says “Slenderman” 😆

Y'know why no one likes the Slenderman website? CUZ HE AIN'T GOT THAT TOASTY MERCH GOODNESS!

wasnt expecting much else... its a pity though... i can see a decent psychological thriller coming from slenderman.. if you focus more of belief/delusion and the actual people less on slenderman himself... but eh i got channel zero:no end house which is amazingly good for creepypasta based film/tv though

Korey is way easier on flicks than Martin is lol

Why didn’t you guys mention Dracula using a Sony phone in Hotel Transylvania 3

They really did pick the least interesting aspects of the character and made a movie out of that.

Remember that time when Jeff and Jason (Rageselect) and Korey played Slender on the Loading Bar, and Jeff and Jason poked fun at Korey who was freaking out just about everything.

Slender man becomes a youtube prank channel

Lmao personally, this movie coming out now seems like a waste. shouldve came out earlier when the slender hype was real

And legend has it, that Slender Man almost broke Korey's critic skills but did it............................

I just want the creator to pop up out of the shadows and just be like, "This shit ain't canon YEET"

I don't know, Slender Man don't seem quite right to me. But I like he's sport jacket. Not that it is that nice of a jacket. I mean it doesn't fit him that well. But to me there's just something about a monster in a blazer... It shows at least he's making an effort.

If this came out around Halloween about 3-4 years ago. It could have been a hit. Instead they release it in AUGUST 2018 and it's RATED PG-13. It is honestly strange to see the poster hanging at movie theaters, "Why is this even here?".

I thought The Mothman Prophecies, was okay. It did have creepy moments.

I expected nothing and I'm still let down... except not really.

Javier Botet, the actor who plays slender man, is actually from Spain.

This movie makes me hope that Hollywood never discovers the SCP community.

I'm surprised you didn't hear about the girls almost killing her friend because of Slenderman and that no one mentioned it. That's why scenes were removed and they even avoid showing this movie in the near area of where it happened

At no point was this movie scary. Not even the slightest. I really enjoyed the look and style of the movie, but beyond that, it lacked any depth and I felt absolutely nothing for these characters, nor did I care about anything that was happening to them. It was like watching a corny imitation of every cheesy scary movie from like the early 2000's thrown together like a collage. By the end, everyone in my theater literally burst into laughter when the credits began to roll. It was as if we all had a collective "wtf was that?" moment. I've never had such a emotionless feeling while watching a scary movie.

Damn Korey.. give Slenderman a break. Not everyone can afford Pound Design.

Not only do I wish it could have been made in a found footage kind of way, but I wish they found a different median for him to appear aside from an online website that literally tells you how to summon him. Maybe some punks could find a tree with the symbol on it and they deface it somehow, resulting in him appearing from the symbol itself.

I don't understand how this is a missed opportunity. Let's say if this movie wasn't 8-9 years late and was released in 2009 or 2010. I feel this movie would be just as bad either way, One of the main reasons why I think is because the creepy pasta wasn't that good to begin with, let's be honest here, slendermans really cliche and kinda bland. The main source material is already not that good.

A few people they just forgot about. The boyfriend clearly saw the slender man and it didn’t lead up nothing either.

8:30 - Yeah they do, Martin! They’re just not as commonly known by many people. Heck there isn’t as many people that have Sony made phones nowadays as there were eight years ago.

I was really hoping this might be good. 😞 I feel like it could have been much better with a cop investigating a missing child case... keep the mystery, be suggestive, really play with your mind and hold you at a high tension. The game is simple but so effective and this film really should have followed suit

Last few reviews haven't said much about the movies being reviewed. Less details on thoughts and more jokes... leaving me confused on what the movie is about.

"Slender Man", eh? Is next year's horror film going to be "Tinder Man"?

I was hoping Slender Man would be close to Mothman Prophecies, such an underrated movie.

Ahh! I got excited when Marble Hornets was mentioned! Its a more interesting watch than this Slenderman movie. Plus its free, on youtube! I would honestly watch Marble Hornets a 100 times than to pay and watch this disaster of a movie.

Good review. One thing though: Javier Botet is Spanish, not South-American.

I luv how Korey say SHIIT!!

Korey is the one who got me into playing the original pc game.

Apparently, the sequel will be named "Bye Bye Slender Man: The Dog Turd Continues"

I watched this movie drunk in the theater. This is the funniest movie of the summer

This could have worked if it was a found footage film. Just play Slender: The Arrival, and you’ll see what I mean.

Dis review going be good.

It wouldn't make sense for Sony Pictures to show Apple or Samsung cell phone instead of their own when Sony competes with them in cell phone market. Sony does make phones (in millions) and their flagship Xperia competes Samsung Galaxy S/Note and Apple Iphone. That would be like a Ford financed movie show casing Toyota cars.

Oh god hearing Korey say "marble hornets" gave me flashbacks

this is the hardest ive laughed in a youtube vid in so long

This movie was straight dumpster juice. One of the worst "horror" movies I've ever seen!

"How do you fuck up tentacles" ? The Mist. Worse tentacle effect ever. Solid movie though.

Slender Man reminds me of that demon from Sinister.

This movie should have come out like 5 years ago. No one gives a fuck about Slenderman now. Also, why do they keep putting this Joey King chick in all these terrible horror films?

So I guess I've got the Slender Man Halloween suit costume minus the tentacles. Suit and tie on point though. Must represent all that toasty goodness over his body, just needs that Double Toasted logo on it.

This movie is already rendered completely redundant considering people with virtually zero budget have made awesomely effective and terrifying Slenderman films and miniseries right here on KZfaq. Seriously.

blumhouse should have made this film and people keep saying on it was too late anyway it does not matter how old the it is why does.that matter unless it was a good .live which it was not it was a 1/10 if clubhouse made it and actually a good director and good actors and writers it might have been good and who mange blumhouse might buy the rights someday and make it a mystery of is slender man evil or not what is he where did he come and stuff like that.

20:17 scared me lokey😂

Saw it yesterday. It will be one of the worst movies of the year 1/10. There was literally nothing good about it

Marble Hornets was the best thing to come out for the Slenderman. I love the Creepypasta of him, but not everyone can make a movie or short videos out of it. Those guys made some really eerie shit, and it was awesome. Marble Hornets is highly recommended.

Every time he said 'meme' I died a little bit inside.

The Tentacles from Independence day was waaaaayyy better than this.

Slender man: TREE TREE TREE TREE TREE. YOU BITCHES PEEKED?! IM TURNING YOU ALL INTO TREES!!!

The cinematographer (Luca del Puppo) was too good for that director. You can tell when the director told him “I want this shot” and it looks really laughable. When he was free to do what he wants he did really well. Good amount of J-cuts, some really well placed L-cuts, a nice dolly zoom, good panning shots, etc.

0:01 21:15 21:59 22:20 29:30 29:50 29:58 30:20 30:40 31:18 31:40 33:12

Sounds like this director should've gone the route the 3rd act of Hereditary did with certain people in the background. That effed us up in the theatre. It was so effective because they weren't jump scares. The director let those creepy scenes play out and mess with your head and linger. My group was smart to follow up that movie with Incredibles 2.

The movie wasn’t scary boo

The only medium Slendy can survive through is KZfaq, let the EMH, TT, and MarbleHornets crew handle it, they’ve done just fine for years

"Beware the Slenderman" Documentary is scarier than this.

Got to disagree with Korey, I don't think this movie manages to succeed at any time. There was no mood, it was a hacked up film full of tedium and Diet Horror. He mentions it's creepy early on, and I just don't see it. Slender Man isn't creepy, he's kind of lame, he's kiddie horror, at best. His being badly shopped into the background of a picture isn't creepy in itself. His lack of features isn't creepy in itself. He never really comes together as a creepy, compelling monster. A bunch of twigs breaking in a forest and cicadas going quiet isn't scary, like I said, that's Diet Horror. Characters saying "He drives you insane" isn't scary...what is it about him that drives you insane? A few tentacles on his back? That's it? That dumb internet video that "downloads" him like a "computer virus" into your brain? That's a cop out thing that pre-teens say in attempts to be spooky. It doesn't work in itself with no context. Let's look at two Slender Man-type creatures from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer show - The Gentlemen, and Der Kindestod. You see the context for why you should be afraid of these things in the show, they build that shit properly, and you see it in their visual design and the effect they have on their victims. The Gentlemen, in particular, are Slender Man done properly. Similar look, except they have creepy looking grins and metallic teeth, and look old and haggard. The glide along silently, their movements are eerie, they steal your voice so you're not able to scream when their creepy minions hold you down and they cut your heart out. There's meat on the bones of the concept, you see what they can do and can thus imagine how terrifying it'd be to have that happen, and what a horrible way to die it is. Der Kindestod stalks sick children in hospital and sucks the remaining life out of them. It's invisible to adults, it scares kids and holds them down while they scream, it's eyes coming out of it's head and splitting open to look like mouths before draining the child as they scream. That shit is fucked up, the context and actions of it make it a fucked up creature and a horrible way to die, creating fear. Slender Man by comparison is this boring, featureless nothing with skinny arms and legs who takes kids away (according to rumours). His depiction in the movie is laughable. Playing a loud noise over a close-up of his blank head isn't scary. The hauntings and visions aren't scary, they're shit obviously directly lifted from other movies - the surreal imagery of The Ring, the shaking/spasming head from Jacob's Ladder and about a million other movies, the woods imagery from Evil Dead and Blair Witch...except all done a LOT worse and less effectively. One victim disappears silently and there's no follow up, another "loses her mind" a day or so after she sees his face, one is jump-scared a bit in a library and then grabbed out of a window by tree branches, the other is stalked by a big spider-monster version of Slender Man before being absorbed into a tree. It's so bafflingly non-scary, I don't get how anyone but the very young can get anything out of it in terms of horror. Fuck Slender Man, both the movie and the lame internet phenomenon it's based on. It's horror for people who don't actually like horror.

So this is like the horror movie from that episode of Doug that Doug was really scared of only to find out it was a guy in a bad costume who even had a string behind his back?

It seems like the makers of this movie are more inspired by the crime of the girls who tried to kill their friend than the lore and the origin of Slenderman.
