    It’s funny to see the discourse over “can YouTubers and/or film critics make good meaningful films beyond horror?” as if Jane Schoenbrun didn’t just open Cannes after writing for film magazines and making documentaries made of Slender-Man YouTube ARGs last decade.

    Nope. I am not even going to bother with the blatant ragebait (especially when it is very obvious it is going to bomb). Seriously, even the Tom Cruise Mummy movie, the Slender Man movie, AND The Bye Bye Man was worth more of my time than this dreck.

    For my own part, I was a bit split on some titles, including the Slender Man movie. But really, I think the pinnacle of "riffing with friends" movies is The Bye Bye Man. I mean seriously, how seriously can you take a film when you are frequently hearing "The Bye Bye Man"?

    While I can't name any theatrical movie that made me angry, I can attest that perhaps the most disappointing movie I have ever seen in theaters (and I swear I am serious with this), was 2018's Slender Man. With obvious jumpscares, bizarre editing, and a ton of moments that go NOWHERE, it was a mess.

    Another Internet sensation that comes to mind is Slender Man. It was a big 2010s Internet horror icon before a movie was made on him. Yet the movie makers were never crazed enough to start taking down spinoff games of it. A24 is just doing devil work claiming only *they* can “own” the Backrooms.

    Must surely be several creepypasta movies ie Slender Man. Possibly Skinamarink, whose director "ran a YouTube channel where he would upload videos based on nightmares recounted by commenters. His short film Heck (2020) was developed as a proof of concept for Skinamarink" (wikipedia)

    A colleague opined "more than the court case, it was the movie that killed off Slender Man; it made him lame." I think it was more the one-two punch of a bad movie and the court case. Slender Man wasn't a cool bit of shared internet folklore anymore. Worse. Now he was bad product.

    3. Slender Man (2018) As much of a misfire this movie is, and as much as it doesn't really get the Slender Man (neither the lore nor the appeal), I WILL say that I think it made a brief (possibly unintentional) parallel between old and modern mythmaking. Could've gone a bit deeper into that...
