Just... don't see it unless you want to see a twitchy/blurry face guy scream at a girl in such a way that it is utterly hilarious.

Full Disclosure: I saw it in a nearly empty theatre and was concerned I'd be removed for laughing.I have something in common with the cast of this film: I did no research before a film called Slender Man. Goodness, this is a terrible movie. How it was not a straight-to-Netflix release is the most mysterious and scary thing about it. I forget the rating, but you can take little kids to it. It's not a frightening film at all.The plot, such that it is, involves five basic and very stupid teenage girls with impossibly basic names like Haley, Chloe, Wren, Leslie, and Katie. The girls possess about as much intelligence, courage, and resourcefulness as the Scooby Doo gang. Unfortunately for them, they also possess a link to a Slenderman video, which they watch during a camping trip. Or sleepover. It doesn't matter.Katie is the first to go, unless I've confused her with another character. Her absence bothers the remaining girls enough to finally sit down research Slender Man on the Google. They really struggle with the concept, but eventually come to understand that Slender Man is sighted by folks all over the world and is responsible for most missing children cases. You know, *that* Slender Man. The one from the Internet!What makes this an awesomely bad movie, rather than merely boring one, is how rudely Sylvain White treats his audience. I felt like I was being insulted by Donald Trump after sharing my "belief" that the human body isn't really like a battery. Some insults came in the form of overtly referencing other horror films like The Ring, Silent Hill, and even Hausu. (Who does that? Who includes Hausu references and expects their viewers no to laugh?) Other insults were verbal. Characters explained things I'd just seen or already understood because they were so easy to understand. Characters asked each other if they were okay when they obviously were not. The music and sound effects were equally insulting. Slender Man's bell sounded like it came from a cartoon. Slendy himself looked like he was wearing a tight-fitting sheet face mask he bought off Amazon.If you enjoy stupid horror films-and I do-this can make for an entertaining theatre experience. Do you want to miss one of the funniest sex scenes ever committed to film? See it before the RiffTrax version so you can tell your friends.

Before I unleash my true hate for this movie, I will mention what works in it, giving credit where credit is due. The movie was in focus, for around 30 seconds the dialogue wasn't bad and there were around 2 seconds of scary imagery. Now with a few points, I will mention the things that make it one of the worst horror movies of the 21st century. 1. The story makes no sense. Scenes just sort of happen and end. This is probably due to the fact that the studio had to cut out a major piece of this movie. This movie isn't The Magnificent Ambersons, a bit of gore wouldn't save it, though I hope the original cut was more cohesive. 2. No rules. 'It Follows' is a great horror movie, which establishes the rules of our antagonist throughout the movie. Here slender-man does all sorts of things, so you can only sit and observe sloppily put together scenes of things happening. 3. Jump scares. While they didn't startle me, when I looked around, people were constantly jumping due to the loud sound effects. It would be alright if these jump scares were earned, but putting a loud noise because a character walks by is the laziest garbage. 4. Boring. It's not bad enough to be 'so bad it's funny'. I only laughed 2 times and chuckled 4. Not enough laughs to spend money, gas and time for the sake of laughing at the weird decisions of the filmmaker. I genuinely hope that movies that don't rely on cliches and cheap tricks like Hereditary will pop up every once in a while even if audiences won't give them millions of dollars.
