Lurking in the shadows of the Internet, a faceless modern-day bogeyman has attracted the attention and fear of a young generation who whisper his name online. Slenderman lives on the dark pages of the web, where impressionable youth create and cultivate his mythos in message boards, YouTube clips and various other digital incantations.
But the online fairy tale becomes a shocking real-life horror as two year-old girls, guided by their devotion to Slenderman, lure their friend into the woods to attempt a seemingly inexplicable, brutal murder. From the depths of one the Internet's most unsettling creations to the court case that must consider the consequences, Beware the Slenderman brings to light questions of accountability in an age where young, growing minds are only a few clicks away from creating and consuming something that may influence them to commit unspeakable crimes.
Parental Guide. Over the past years, a horror stories website call 'Creepypasta', has given us, some of the biggest scares; ranging from tales of 'Jeff the Killer' to 'Ted the Caver'. However, none of them, have had, much of an impact, as 'the Slender Man', has. Originally, as an odd photo entry in an old school Photoshop contest by the 'Something Awful' comedy forums in Eric Knudsen AKA Victor Surge's creation has grown to become, an internet phenomenon, appearing in fan art, video games, literature, and even a couple of short films.
Described as a tall, thin man with a blank face and tentacle-like arms. Urban legend maintains that Slenderman preys on children and has teleportation powers. While, most people, including children, understood that that mysterious being was not real. It didn't stop, two 12 year girls, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier from stabbing their friend, Payton "Bella" Leutner to prove critics and skeptic wrong, about his existence in Without spoiling, too much of it, this HBO documentary directed by Irene Taylor Brodsky, hope to explain, how, this tragic event came to be, and the results from it.
For the most part, I have to say, this documentary indeed, was captivating. I like, how the film explore the internet mythos of the creature, and what made the make-believe being, so popular.
I also, love, how the film, dig deep into the mental health of the two girls and why they thought, murdered, was the gateway to contacting the mythical creature. However, the film is without a few flaws. One of the biggest complains, about the film, is how much time, is spent on, building a defense case for the girls, by not guilty, by reason of insanity, and little time is spent on the opinions from the prosecutors. Even, the victim and her family was not interviewed. Because of that, the film does feel, a bit one-sided, in a plea of insanity.
Regardless, of the facts, if the girls were truly insane or not, the film does tend to have two much, interviews with the parents of the two perpetrators; that it seems like there is a lot of repetition statements, being said, throughout the documentary, without much of anything new, being stated. It really does hurt the pacing of the film. It's bad, enough that the film intercuts dumb short, internet videos into the documentary that could be, cut, a little bit.
After all, what does, a video about the worst toaster in the world, has to do or a guy making a sandwich, and flushing it, down the toilet, have to do with anything? Those two, don't really help, one bit, in showing the disturbing and foretelling signs of the girls, or their compassion side. Another problem, with the film is the fact that the case was not yet, resolved, when filming, started.
Perhaps, if the film-maker waited for the trial to end, and the sentence, given. We could had a better all-around conclusion on what was going on.

Added different light sources unlocked after beating the game once. Added shadows not especially noticeable except in lit areas. Your jogging speed now increases gradually as more pages are collected. The maximum distance you can see decreases as you collect more pages; this is to keep the challenge similar for people who have fog turned off.
For the same reason, Distance Shade can no longer be turned off. Added a menu option to automatically skip the intro. Added a pause feature, but you can only pause if there's no static which prevents you from pausing the game in response to seeing the Slender Man. Fixed a bug where the flashlight would try to illuminate a page on the other side of a wall. Removed one of the hidden modes it was only a matter of time, since it contained copyrighted material.
