The SLENDER MAN Horror Movie Is Set to Be Directed by Sylvain White
Screen Gems' Slender Man horror film is moving forward with a director who was just hired to take on the challenge of bringing the modern-day urban legend to life. That director is Sylvain White, who previously directed the films Stomp the Yard and The Losers. Those films aren't really worth remembering, but White is taking on a whole new genre with Slender Man, and I hope he does something great with it and gives us something truly terrifying.
Slender Man is a scary dude, so if White can't give us a nightmarishly terrifying film then he's failed. The creature is a tall, thin frightening thing with unnaturally long arms and a featureless face. It's responsible for the haunting and disappearance of countless children and teens. This is a monster that Doug Jones should play!
While we wait for this movie to be released, HBO recently announced that their true crime documentarr Beware the Slenderman will premiere on Monday, January 23rd.
