"Apart from its occasionally spooky images, "Slender Man" is a fundamentally derivative and empty-headed horror film."
Variety"The movie fails to understand that it's the characters' fixation on Slender Man - and not the phantom himself - that should be driving the terror."
Time Out"The most perfunctory horror picture I've seen in some time."
The New York Times"It's not necessary to swallow whole the idea that the internet is inherently dangerous to see the production of a movie, after that controversy, as a somewhat cynical gesture. Especially when it's a bad movie trying to look sincere."
Sydney Morning Herald"Ring rip-off that's a waste of your time."
Stuff"The more we see him, the more he moves, the less scary he is. Go back to the internet, Slender Man, you're scarier there."
New Zealand Herald"These competent actresses deserve actual characters to play, but Birke's screenplay is as devoid of personality as the faceless cipher stalking its heroes."
Hollywood Reporter"Promising source material and a talented cast are squandered in a stale, rigidly formulaic J-horror wannabe."
