An action-packed slog

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Just... don't see it unless you want to see a twitchy/blurry face guy scream at a girl in such a way that it is utterly hilarious.

Full Disclosure: I saw it in a nearly empty theatre and was concerned I'd be removed for laughing.I have something in common with the cast of this film: I did no research before a film called Slender Man. Goodness, this is a terrible movie. How it was not a straight-to-Netflix release is the most mysterious and scary thing about it. I forget the rating, but you can take little kids to it. It's not a frightening film at all.The plot, such that it is, involves five basic and very stupid teenage girls with impossibly basic names like Haley, Chloe, Wren, Leslie, and Katie. The girls possess about as much intelligence, courage, and resourcefulness as the Scooby Doo gang. Unfortunately for them, they also possess a link to a Slenderman video, which they watch during a camping trip. Or sleepover. It doesn't matter.Katie is the first to go, unless I've confused her with another character. Her absence bothers the remaining girls enough to finally sit down research Slender Man on the Google. They really struggle with the concept, but eventually come to understand that Slender Man is sighted by folks all over the world and is responsible for most missing children cases. You know, *that* Slender Man. The one from the Internet!What makes this an awesomely bad movie, rather than merely boring one, is how rudely Sylvain White treats his audience. I felt like I was being insulted by Donald Trump after sharing my "belief" that the human body isn't really like a battery. Some insults came in the form of overtly referencing other horror films like The Ring, Silent Hill, and even Hausu. (Who does that? Who includes Hausu references and expects their viewers no to laugh?) Other insults were verbal. Characters explained things I'd just seen or already understood because they were so easy to understand. Characters asked each other if they were okay when they obviously were not. The music and sound effects were equally insulting. Slender Man's bell sounded like it came from a cartoon. Slendy himself looked like he was wearing a tight-fitting sheet face mask he bought off Amazon.If you enjoy stupid horror films-and I do-this can make for an entertaining theatre experience. Do you want to miss one of the funniest sex scenes ever committed to film? See it before the RiffTrax version so you can tell your friends.

We almost got out of it, that bottomless pick of garbage. But this film ended our chances, it breaks my heart. But I think the horror genre is dead, and that's why this is the worst horror film ever made. The acting is horrible, the story is abysmal, its hilarious to watch this horrible accident unfold in front of your eyes.

I saw this movie for free and I still wanted my money back, it's like they aren't taking horror movies seriously anymore.
