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.

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

The movie is a big disappointment, because ultimately Slender Man does not get the full-on creep-out treatment such an intriguing character deserves. Here he's just a generic horror bad guy, doing standard horror-bad-guy things. He could be anything, really, and therefore winds up, like the movie, being not much.

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

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.

A tasteless and incredibly undercooked serving of the internet’s stalest Creepypasta, Slender Man aspires to be for the YouTube era what “The Ring” was to the last gasps of the VHS generation...there’s one fundamental difference that sets the two movies apart: “The Ring” is good, and Slender Man is terrible.

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

A visually competent and decently acted horror film that falls short emotionally, offering mild originality but little lasting impact.

Slender Man 2018 was a really bad movie it was just not good they should've just kept the scenes they cut from the movie to really make this movie look more scary instead of just some cheesy horror movie that doesn't even scare you it just really just ticks you off on how Bad they made the movie like they could've done banner or there could've been a partition to re-shoot the movie and add the scenes that we saw from the trailer or just don't post a trailer with the sea that we're supposed to see in the movie that we're spoiling the whole thing just let the scene be in the movie and not even show them and then just cut them from the movie or just come out with a Slender Man directors cut that would be good

It was scary but it won't make us forget about the stabbing that happened before the movie came out !
