reeves2002

I saw this movie opening night and was satisfied with it. The acting was really good for this type of movie and music/score was creepy. I didn't find it scary but there was a few jump scares (not overused like some here claim) and a lot of tense moments. Story was fairly predictable but with a twist and a unexpected ending. I want to know what that infamous scene was that was edited or reshot that is mentioned here? Apparently the test audience said it was so terrifying the film maker had to either edit it or reshoot it. This scene was supposed to have been shown at the end of the original trailer but everything from both trailers was featured in this movie so unless it was removed from the trailer it doesn't seem to exist. Isn't the point of a horror movie to terrify people? The decision to remove it doesn't work to their advantage & not sure why this film got an R-rating. I hope this supposed scene shows up on the blu ray release or YouTube or somewhere. Or maybe it was all just fabricated by the filmmaker to get people into the theatre to watch this movie who knows. Either way I enjoyed this film and was happy seeing the new child's play trailer which looks good!

I thought the movie was good but not great. I like horror movies based on urban legends and wasn't familiar with slendernan, i thought it was just some kind of video game. I watched a few you tube videos on it and they seemed way different then this movie was but as a feature film of this genre I expected it to be more frightening and gory or something and don't understand why horror movies nowadays all have to be PG and are afraid to go really dark. It had good atmosphere and story was captivating enough but pace was slow and the scares were too tame and there were too many unanswered questions and plot holes. I still give it a 6 out of 10 because it was still a fun summer thriller and the acting was good.
