So there’s a chance that the Slender Man movie could be the best video game adaptation into a movie? What do you think? #CanYouSeeHimhttps://t.co/L261LQijoX

Just saw the trailer for the film, Slenderman… ITS ABOUT TIME THIS MOVIE GOT MADE! I just hope it uses Noface sparingly, and that it doesn’t just use unintentional jumpscares. #CanYouSeeHim #SlenderMan #SlenderMan

Whoa, turns out the Slender Man movie is just going to a movie theater and picking up 8 pieces of paper. when combined, it says “You wasted your money, sucker. Ha. Ha. Ha.”

This movie looks like a students’ project in where the main theme is using color correction.

Slender Man looks like one of those movies you’d find in the Walmart bargain bin that was created entirely out of stock footage

I just watched the Slender Man trailer and had to double check it wasn’t some fake trailer by a media student. Sadly, it was not.

They’re making a Slender Man movie…
Why now and not 4 years ago when it was the most relevant?
You can’t even capitalize on trending things Hollywood no wonder you’re a trashfire.— Xyer (@XyerF) January 3, 2018
Hell yeah this is going to be the movie of 2011.

Imagine still finding Slenderman scary in 2018 and making a film about it.

So Sony pictures are trash and this is why I know the Slenderman movie will be trash, they’re literally clinging onto anything they can to make money out of their studios

Wow completely disrespectful to the young woman who was almost STABBED TO DEATH by two of her so called friends who were obsessed with The Slender Man. Money over everything I guess.

The #SlenderMan #SlenderManMovie trailer…
1. Trailer makes the movie look terrible.
2. It’s incredibly distasteful for @Sony to make a movie featuring Slenderman & stabbings when 2 girls in real life just were sentenced for stabbing a peer because they believed in Slenderman.— Kris Steele Happens (@KrisWD40) January 4, 2018
#SlenderManMovie 2012 called, they want their idea back.

I mean, does anyone expect the #SlenderManMovie to be a hit? Look at the facts: You’ve got Joey King (the girl from White House Down), and and a bunch of nobodies being directed by the guy who made the last direct-to-DVD I Know What You Did Last Summer movie!

I hear that Sony was visited by the actual Slenderman. He asked them for twenty dollars. They refused, but told him how he could make everyone give him twenty dollars, finally. #CanYouSeeHim #SlenderManMovie
