I looked into this movie a while back, but I can't seem to locate it on IMDB anymore, possibly because its title clashed with the upcoming remake of 1934's classic The Thin Man. Either it has been given a new title, or it's been shelved (which is unlikely considering its stage of development).

I have that issue of GI. The article says "The Thin Man is strikingly similar to the Slender Man myths."
Although since the article was written by someone at GI and not the game developers themselves, it's possible that the writer just had a knowledge of the myths and saw the parallels.

This movie is getting free advertisement from us...

It could be good, but at the same time i'm really not sure I want to see slenderman on the big screen.

Call it selfish but i'd prefer to keep him out of the clutches of the Hollywood industry and leave it to the people here online like EMH and MH, and the good people of the unforum to continue to document their encounters with him and to continue to develop his character.

Could Slenderman there spreading think.

Slender movies. Eh. They're either doomed to fail, or they won't capture the essence of it properly. Two and a half hours just isn't enough.

People not Slenderman films think.

So this movie has gone direct to PPV and is available on DirecTV. I watched it tonight and can't wait to see what you all have to say. It definitely is not Slendy related nor does it even really have many similarities. Not at all what I expected, but I suspect it will be made fun of on here forever and rightfully so. I thought it was terrible and I don't usually say that about much of anything. So bad, it was funny, but not intentionally. One of the worst films I have ever seen.

In my honest opinion, I did not like the movie. It was poorly made. Or at least to me it was, I can't speak for the majority.

I am feeling bad about resurrecting this thread but I actually saw "The Tall Man" last night during a horror movie marathon at a cinema and I feel after watching it. It is slightly appropriate to talk about here.

If you ignore the last 10 minutes (or so) of the movie. This is a slenderman movie where Slendy never actually appears. Quick plot thing (Spoilers after what is in the opening is described.):

You start the movie where the main plot ends with the FBI Detective coming out of the mine in the town saying they have found no trace of the missing Children and then goes to talk to Jessica Biel's nurse character Julia (Sidenote: Second best acting I saw last night.) at the police station where we start a flashback to 36 hours ago.

We go through a "normal day" of Julia, She helps a young girl give birth and the narration tells us children have been disappearing every 2 months by "The Tall Man" and we are shown how poor and desolate the town is over the credits. You meet a lot of other characters at a Dinner (Cops, the Detective, Homeless woman who lost her son and looks like Dahlia Gillespie from the first Silent hill movie.) She visits a newborn/mother who is not there and sees the sister of this young girl who is mute and drawing a lot in a sketchbook (and is an important character.).

She then goes home plays games with her son who was during the day being watch over by a nanny and then passes out drunk. When she wakes up after this the son has been kidnapped and she chases after him and a guy in a massive coat and creepy van but fails to catch them. She is then picked up by the FBI detective an she is taken to the dinner while he goes out and searches.

Twisty stuff starts here:
