SLENDER MAN SCARY MOVIE
The movie was also riddled with quite a few chronological mistakes that made no sense, mostly between the continuity of night and day. Shadows are great on a person's face when the scene is intended to be ominous, but when the characters are casually talking and nothing is wrong, shadowy lighting is just pointless and looks bad.
The use of shadows became cheap and unfocused at times, as even in some of the more lighthearted moments of the movie, the lighting was set up so you couldn't see people's faces at all, completely ridding the audience of any emotional connection they could have with the characters during these times. Though the lighting of some parts of the movie was brilliant, in other parts it was incredibly lazy. Despite the second half being a total disappointment, the set-up in the first half was decent nonetheless. Additionally, the beginning of the movie does an adequate job of setting up the fearsome struggle that is to come, preparing audiences for some truly horrific stuff. There were even some scenes where a tall, thin shadow loomed over the protagonists without them knowing, creating the eerie feeling that Slender Man is supposed to omit. Throughout a good portion of the movie, the lighting and cinematography was rather impressive, using shadows to help set the mood. Considering the amount of material and legends there are out there about Slender Man, one would think that the movie would've been better.īefore we dive into the flaws of Slender Man, let's first discuss what it did well. The movie is not only an underwhelming waste of time for those seeing it, but also a waste of the six years many people have been waiting for this movie to be made. To the surprise of few, it was certainly not worth the wait. Six years after the viral video game "Slender" hit the Internet, Slender Man fans have finally received the movie about the folklore villain that they have been waiting for.
