it's Slendy. Slenderman. I can't take it seriously because of that.that was basically my whole review, but if I had to add more to that, it's that it's basically all about a cameraguy for a local news outlet being stalked by Slenderman after finding videos from a vacant house of a family being stalked by Slenderman.Slenderman was/is a genius concept from its origin of a few photoshopped pictures with some simple backstory. Even the original game made years later was genius in its simplicity.this is just a flat, straight-forward telling of Slenderman made by some fans (not the original creator) without ever using the possibly copyrighted name. They don't do anything new with it or anything particularly innovative or different to make it worthwhile.Even the usual jumpscares that tend to get all people by being startling didn't work on me because every time I see it I grin goofily and say "Slendy", as if he were my buddy

I want to start off by saying I watch a TON of horror movies, a new horror movie each night. I also never watched the "Marble Hornet" series on YouTube therefore I thought this movie was a lot of fun to watch. I never get scared in horror movies but this movie did make me jump a few times, which is rare these days (possibly watching this late at night helped as well). The director has produced a lot of other great horror movies so he knows what he's doing. The director also said this movie was in reference to slender man, I thought the idea was new and fresh. There aren't many slender man movies. As far as the first person shooting I thought it was well done. I don't think this movie deserves so many bad reviews. If you like horror movies and you're looking for a good movie to sit back and watch I really recommend this one.

No intentional spoilers.A little backstory: Marble Hornets is the name of a YouTube channel with found footage "episodes" based around the Slenderman mythos. The YouTube series felt like a student film or just a hobby project, but I found it entertaining and interesting. This movie, if I understand right, is based on that series but not a part of it. I don't see mention of the creators of the YouTube channel as a part of this project, but it felt very similar in experience.The premise was decent: A figure with a featureless face wearing a black suit can only be seen using a camera and follows people. Weird and bad things happen. Beyond that, there's no real meat to the story and it's not nearly as scary as it could be. The acting was not bad at all. I was pleasantly surprised by the performances. For a found footage based film, I think they did a great job of editing it down so you didn't get too bored watching it. I did get tired of the scenes where the characters were just yelling at each other, though. My biggest complaint were the Slenderman related scenes. The original, incredibly low budget YouTube series looked better and felt scarier! That being the bulk of the reason for and entertainment value of the movie, it's unacceptable that it was so poorly done. I could get past it because I like these kinds of stories and movies, but I don't think a lot of people will be as forgiving. It's basically a monster movie where the monster takes a backseat which is why I think fans of the Slenderman mythos and horror movies in general may be disappointed in this movie. I think people who like the Paranormal Activity movies will get some entertainment out of this, but if that's not your thing, this movie probably isn't for you.

*SPOILERS AHEAD!!* Small ones, not that important but smallSo I'll first say I thought this was going to be the worst piece of poop called a movie in the history of movies... And I was wrong! This has great actors who look panicked when they see him in the cameras, sad when a dog dies, and the best screams when Slendy opened a door with so much force that it could break a wall. The setting perfectly sets the mood like in the actual marble hornets production (I've watched the Marble Hornets Entries twice). You knew exactly where they were and what they were doing.I don't understand why people hate it. Yes the idea of not seeing him with the bare eye is not on the same legend, but they only did that so people could understand why they needed the cameras. It's just they way of making this more suspenseful.I also don't understand why people can't find a plot to this. I could make a whole summary of the movie in 1 single paragraph.The final thing I don't understand is why do people not like the idea of the camera isn't a 3rd person POV, but a 1st person camera.In conclusion, this movie was a masterpiece that deserves to be told so.
