New Trailer Released For the Controversial Horror Film SLENDER MAN

We've got a new trailer for the upcoming Slender Man horror film for you to watch today. After the first trailer was released it was slammed by people for being distasteful because the legend caused two young girls to try and kill someone in real life. Other's gave the film grief for being made way too late. The legend has been around for a while and it's not as popular now as it used to be, but Screen Gems is moving forward with the release and they are obviously hoping to make some money out of it. 

For those of you not familiar with the legend, the character came from a Photoshop challenge on the Something Awful forums. The challenge tasked users to take boring or dull photos and add a nightmarish element too them. The Slender Man idea came from the mind of Eric Knudsen a.k.a. "Victor Surge," who posted a couple photos of children with a tall suited figure standing in the background. Then the whole thing just exploded online with people claiming to have had experiences involving Slender Man when they were kids. 

Slender Man was directed by Sylvain White (Stomp The Yard, The Losers) and I think it looks pretty creepy. I've always had a fascination with these kinds of urban legends, so I'll give the film a shot. Here's the synopsis for the film:

In a small town in Massachusetts, four high school girls perform a ritual in an attempt to debunk the lore of Slender Man. When one of the girls goes mysteriously missing, they begin to suspect that she is, in fact, HIS latest victim.

The movie stars Jaz Sinclair (Paper Towns), Joey King (The Conjuring and Wish Upon), Julia Goldani Telles (Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life), Annalise Basso (Ouija: Origin of Evil) and Alex Fitzalan

Slender Man lands in theaters August 10th, 2018. Watch the trailer below.
