So the Slender Man now has a movie of its own, and I rather like it. Yeah that chick got annoying at the end with her screaming but the Slender Man itself was quite accurate to the myth as far as I know (and believe me I have read and seen a lot of Slender Man stuff). But what do you guys think?

Whoa! Watching this right now, I will get back to you! Ive been really getting into this lately with all the Marble Hornets stuff, and the Slender games.
Ok i've never heard of slenderman outside a couple posts on this site.
I'm 30 min in and engrossed.
I'll write more when i get back to the house and finish watching...

Build up mostly so far from the looks of it. Mythology getting fleshed out.
Not terrible, I've seen worse romantic comedies. This looks more like a blair witch-- and I saw that shit in the theaters...

Wasnt too bad. I really enjoy the Slenderman Stuff. The audio could have been better in places, but overall very cool. I like their take on it all.
Its all good! Though I could probably go into better detail.cojo965 said:
Slenderman, as a mythos isnt scary by himself. You have to kind of get into the mindset that he IS watching you, and that he IS coming for you. The movie captures this wonderfully using the first person shaky cam perspective. The plot is broken up nicely through several perspectives. Being the Kids, detective and etc. Its paced well, and that acting isnt horrible. Its a jumpscare kinda movie, which is effective and not over the top. It builds the suspense, which is what slenderman is good at (You know what Im talking about if youve played the games). As I said before, only complaint is the sound quality at moments,
Its pretty good.
Well if I recall correctly, there's nothing too major but they are there. It's not like most modern horror movies where they would rather fill the screen with overblown action and is terrified that the audience will lose interest if there hasn't been a jump scare or kill scene every ten fucking minutes. No, this movie is more interested in building the setup and mythology first while dropping the occasional Slender Man sighting before the final act allows us to see what an angry Slender Man is truly capable of.OlasDAlmighty said:
Something came out of Kickstarter? Wow 
I think slenderman has been milked a bit now, but a film takes time to make so you can't blame them. Interesting to see they've put it for free on youtube though.

Eh, it was alright.
... just spent about five minutes trying to elaborate on this point, btu I can't. It was watchable, since I just watched it, but nothing especially special or memorable.
Maybe Slenderman is like the Silence - once you stop looking at it, you forget what's happened and are just left with a lingering sense of unease.

Actually, Slash, he doesn't seem that very popular. Sure you can bump into stuff about him every now and again but normally you aren't going to get knee-deep into it unless you actively seek it out. I personally am ambivalent to the whole thing; I'm a fan of eldritch horror but the Slender Mythos never really held my interest to a significant degree.
Same reason rick-rolling got popular. It's sorta funny the first time, so everyone keeps doing it until it gets funny again. Like watching sideshow Bob step on rakes for a zillion times.00slash00 said:
Then you get rip-offs like the Silence. Pft, The Tall Man was scarier than Slenderman.
Interesting. Gonna watch this now. Hopefully it'll help cure this hangover, but I seriously doubt it!
Will edit this post after I've watched. c:
Edit: Meh. It was OK.

It was surprising. And interesting. I thought the movie could have ended with where it was before the video call between all the friends.cojo965 said:
Not sure with the last question. IDK if I follow what you mean.
