![]() It really should look like something from "Twin Peaks: The Return," if you think about it. Given that the very concept of “Slender Man” is that summoning him basically makes his victims go insane, you might think that the movie would be akin to a cinematic hallucination. Wren ( Joey King) convinces the other two, Chloe ( Jaz Sinclair) and Hallie ( Julia Goldani Telles), to go into the woods to “sacrifice something they love” to get Katie back. First, the fragile Katie ( Annalise Basso) disappears, leading the other three friends into heightened states of panic as to where their friend went and how to get her back. It’s not long before they’re hearing and seeing things, particularly when they get close to a tree-lined area that one has to presume is called Creepy Woods. “Slender Man” has a set-up reminiscent of “ The Ring” (or “Ringu,” if you’re old school) in that four high school friends watch a cursed video online that’s meant to summon the titular character. Sporadically, one can see the movie that “Slender Man” could have been, but it disappears like the title character’s victims. Director Sylvain White’s controversial film (one could argue the movie going forward at all was in bad taste given the real-life violence associated with the character) has some visual language that elevates it above some recent, hideously made horror films (looking at you, “ Truth or Dare”), but it has so little to say about the internet phenomenon, being a teenage girl in the ‘10s, the boogeyman, the weird sounds cicadas make, you name it. ![]() It’s not that “Slender Man” the movie is abysmal, but those unfamiliar with the legend are likely to walk out wondering what all the fuss is about.
