![]() Demon grandma, long black hair, weird staff… what kind of hospital is this? In an open room a man brushes the long black hair of a woman in a tub. At the hospital the doctor believes she just had a panic attack and thinks nothing of it but will keep her overnight.Īt the reception desk the doctors and nurse staff appear to be frozen as they all stand and watch Hallie walk by without saying a word. Her father then calls an ambulance when she begins to seize. Hallie wakes up again and hears Lizzie crying out in pain and her parents trying to console her. The video tells them to close their eyes when they hear a bell toll and then to reopen on the third toll. Katie clicks the link and the four watch intently. The girls then do their own research, finding images, stories, and a forum where a convenient link lets you summon Slender Man by watching a video. They then wonder what the boy’s secret plans are and Chloe reveals she knows their plan is to summon the Slender Man, a mythological figure that kidnaps children, sort of like bloody Mary. We find out Katie hates her home life with her drunk father and the girls talk about leaving their town together. There the four girls hang out in the basement doing what teen girls usually do, watch and make fun of porn. That night after a quick dinner scene where we meet Hallie’s sister Lizzie (played by Taylor Richardson) Wren picks Hallie up and they walk to Katie’s house. Hallie then excuses herself to go pick up her sister but not before her and Tom share some smiles, telling us they have a thing for each other. The girls tease them and ask what their plans are, but they refuse to say, telling them it’s a secret. They then see some of their guy friends including Tom (played by Alex Fitzalan). Ok freeze frame, laugh track, and credits! With dialogue that feels like it’s coming from an 80’s/90’s sitcom we learn they’re all best friends. We then transition to a new scene where the two girls are walking down the hall with their two other friends, Chloe (played by Jaz Sinclair) and Wren (played by Joey King). The two talk about a video they watched on their phone involving cats and Katie jokingly claims she has no soul. Right off the bat the dialogue is pretty bad and I have no idea what the point of this scene even is. The film opens with two friends Hallie (played by Julia Goldani Telles) and Katie (played by Annalise Basso) talking while sitting on the bleachers at school. So, overall not scary except for a VERY few key moments and in the end you’ll be more confused than scared. Unfortunately the best moment of fear, that isn’t a jump scare, doesn’t happen until very late in the movie and only happens once. There are multiple jump scares in this movie and some are pretty effective, others fall flat. Today we’re looking at Sylvian White’s 2018 film, Slender Manįour friends summon the supernatural creature Slender Man believing it to be a made-up story but soon realize it’s more real than they thought. I love horror movies and if I’m going to watch them anyway, why not write an entertaining/funny review from the POV of an average movie-goer and not a professional critic. ![]()
