In the modern horror cinematic landscape, films like Hereditary and A Quiet Place have proven that creating a truly terrifying visual experience requires not only jump-scares, but also a solid story with engaging characters. Slender Man, directed by Sylvain White (The Losers), only gets half of this horror cocktail right, overlooking the vital narrative elements.
The story, set in a small town in Massachusetts, follows four high school friends who one fateful night decide to summon the creepypasta internet phenomenon known as Slender Man. When one of the young ladies goes missing, the rest of the group begins to question their sanity as Slender Man starts to haunt their dreams and alter their perceptions of reality with frightening imagery and unpleasant sounds.
