Just grab that flashlight and head off into the darkened woods where you heard the scream all alone. Parsec Productions, Blue Isle Studios, and Marble Hornets present Slender: The Arrival, a full-fledged indie horror action-adventure that expands on the concept of the original Slender game. they have something to do with that event both of you experienced in your childhood but had repressed until only recently. all just the result of an unstable mind, of course. hallucinations, strange sightings in the woods. Kate, it seems, has apparently been dealing with some unsettling things. the sort you find scrawled on the wall that makes you question your childhood friend's sanity. Slender Man has it's moments and the concept is pure gold, this however is more squandered potential.When you arrive at your friend Kate's house, all alone in the middle of nowhere, you find the building empty, though not without signs of a struggle. Hollywood need to go back to the drawing board, hire indie filmmakers to adapt material otherwise we'll just keep getting this Insidious/Conjuring tripe. Sure it looks great, but the plot tail spins out of control by about the halfway mark and that's such a shame as up until then it was showing real potential. Sadly along with the budget comes all the usual Hollywood horror flaws, demonstrating once again how badly Hollywood have lost their way when it comes to the entire genre. With a decent young cast including Joey King and Annalise Basso we're presented with the glossiest and most high budget Slender Man movie yet.
So yet again we see a tale of a group of young folks on the run from the Slender Man and spooky things happen. Filmmakers just don't seem to be able to make the most out of the fantastic material presented before them. Alike Lovecraft Slender Man seems to be one of those commonly used subject matters that always seeems to miss the mark.
It's not great but it's simply not THAT bad. This latest version of the Slender Man mythology seems to be universally reviled though I don't entirely understand why.
