Their Slender Man has fingernails that are painted black. Ok then.

-Grotesque use of the operator symbol

-Slenderman claws, while cool concept, no.

-The idea of the film has been done before in many vlogs and films

-Is already twisting the story, which isn't bad but seems dumb

-The cinematography seems like this might save the film

3/10 would not bang

Maybe it's cliché, but hey- marble hornets is pretty cliché- or is it? is it not cliché because it's a trend-setter?
this is slenderman's first big-screen appearance- not many people are really familiar with slenderman. We can't set our standards so high.

i'm not going to judge this movie as a lengthy slenderman vlog, but as a horror movie starring slenderman, and i would advise you to do the same

i hope it's good, and that slendy looks pretty awesome...

The second I saw the operator symbol I was pissed. Not happy with the black fingers/claws either.

[Strontium]

jeez, guys, it's a symbol never-before seen on the silver screen save for this movie

[dinorobo]

So do we all commit mass suicide now? Or wait until the movie is released?

Okay correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't East Bay only really do B-movies that are direct to video? I could have sworn I've seen these guys do some mockbuster-type rip offs of other franchises.

Not considering this a real first-run production, gonna guess we'll see it on late night cable or something.

EDIT: the production company only seems to have a facebook. and they're in florida.

NIMBUS. I choose you!

to stab some bushes
to leave some spooky flaming poo on their doorstep
Send Uncle Karl to yell at them.

Ya know, whatever.

Another movie based on Slendy... welll, let's hope for the best.

[LegitimatelyTaylor]

This isn't a real movie. Judging by the production values, it will never hit theaters, and hardly anyone will ever see it.

However, I am perturbed by the reaction to Slenderman's claws. Is it really so horrible? Deviation from a model that is quickly becoming stale, is a bad thing? Whatever.

Honestly, I worry that all these Slender Man movies are suddenly getting made, not because people want to make a good Slender Man film, but because they're jumping on a hot new trend. Personally, the found footage route is much more enjoyable for me. It's less predictable, scarier, and overall more suspenseful. It's pretty much how we all got here in the first place. And, I think it's real nice for people to be novel and come up with new things in the verse, but to me, Slender Man being enigmatically unknown fits better in a medium like YouTube vlogging or blogging instead of a feature length film. This is because I believe that the scariness of Slender Man comes from POV/found footage/home movie realism, not Hollywood style realism.

I really hope these films like Hylo, Entity and the others are going to be decent, but judging from the cheesy trailers that don't scare me much at all, it's hard for me to maintain that hope.

That's just how I think, but I'm sure there are many others that think otherwise.
