GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Michael Ledo 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
ThomasBleedPHD Have you ever wondered what an Asylum Films version of Slenderman would look like? Why? Why did you will this into reality by thinking about it? Ugh, whatever.There have been a couple of Slenderman movies over the past couple of years, and pretty much all of them are bad. I can't speak to the quality of the HBO documentary, but I don't necessarily count that one anyway.Although Slenderman is a beloved part of internet folklore, he's a copyrighted character. Somebody owns him and has exclusive rights to use the character. That means if you don't have his permission to make a Slenderman movie, you won't make a Slenderman movie. Unless of course, you avoid ever using the character's actual name or likeness, play with him just enough to make him recognizable but never actually show him, and just call him a "Slender Being" instead of his actual name.That's how this movie came to be. A zero-budget, zero-talent, zero- originality schlockfest that rips off the notability and likeness of Slenderman but stops just short of anything that can get them sued, this is a Z-movie bootleg.Even if you can forgive the movie for being a tasteless ripoff (I can forgive "Due Date" for being a blatant ripoff of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" because it's entertaining) you'll find yourself being slowly tortured by the bad editing, endless filler, scenes that never pay off, scenes that have nothing to do with the rest of the movie, scenes of people yammering about nothing, and massive flaws that go directly against the most basic rules of filmmaking. This movie is a disaster, like bad poetry in motion.If I held this movie to normal standards, I'd have to call it one of the worst films ever made. However, I can't even count this as a real film. Generally, "indie" films are excluded from my list of the very worst (because there's so, so many bad ones) unless they can hit that sweet spot where they're coherent enough to count as a real movie, but bad enough to be garbage.This is not coherent enough to be a "real" film. This movie is a mess. This is a bootleg Slenderman film, and it isn't even a good bootleg. Avoid it like you'd avoid the real Slenderman.
shmarie 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.
jacobericson I personally liked this movie a lot I, however, am also a big fan of the games and psychological thriller movies and games in general. I also like indie type movies and such so in this instance my stance is quite biased: however, this movie is better than people give it credit for. It felt and looked very realist for the most part aside from the few errors like glitches that shouldn't have happened in the beginning and it wasn't as realist as it could have been in the end but aside from that it was pretty decent. The ending was not my favorite. I will admit and this is the spoiler alert but the ending sucked compared to what they could have done, but as it was a lower budget movie it makes sense to end it the way thy did as they were likely very low on funds at that point and had to cut the movie short and deal with what they had. Still though i found this movie very enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone who wants a little bit of an adrenaline rush late at night, which just so happens to be when I watched it and when I recommend you watch it to.
