If the story behind this chilling internet creation could have matched the quality of those aforementioned strong points, Sony would have a real horror gem on their hands. Read full review

In a movie this flat-out dull, even a tasteful lack of direct exploitation feels like a failure of nerve. Read full review

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

Birke’s script is plainly straightforward, a simple supernatural chase story. It doesn’t plumb the depths of what might make Slender Man scary, so Slender Man isn’t scary at all. Read full review

Sporadically, one can see the movie that Slender Man could have been, but it disappears like the title character’s victims. Read full review

Give White credit for the picture’s fairly eerie tone and look — darkened streets, foggy forests of spindly pines, shadows and more shadows. It’s just not worth more than the occasional hair-raising instant. Read full review

The most perfunctory horror picture I’ve seen in some time. Read full review

This is the best comedy I’ve ever seen it truly captures the magic of great set ups to jokes with bad acting and a shoehorned in internet legend definitely worth the watch!

Nothing wrong with movie per se in terms of scares and premise. Just pretty cliche and with the filming done mostly in dark scenes it is difficult to watch/see the action as anything more than tryhard. Pretty sure I didn’t actually see more than 50% of movie due to darkness

This Movie had Unjust Censorship, Cut 30mins of Scenes, Hopefully Sony released DirectorCutEdition with 30mins of Deleted Scenes

About as complex and compelling as this review. Now I need to pad this to be at least 75 characters long before I can post on Metacritic. Success. When do I get paid?

This movie is a complete joke. It doesn’t achieve any of the things that a horror movie should and it almost looks like they’re not trying. It’s not even close to being scary, the characters feel extremely forced and the story in general makes little to no sense.
