WATCH: Slender Man Movie Gets Creepy First Trailer

Slender Man movie

Several attempts have been made at keeping the horror icon alive in gaming, and some fans have felt that the excitement has waned with the release of Slender: The Arrival. While the title wasn’t well received, some still wish to keep the mythos fresh through other mediums. One such company has already begun production on a full-length Slender Man movie in hopes of attracting horror film buffs to the franchise.

Screen Gems and Mythology Entertainment are at the helm bringing the character, created by Victor Surge (AKA Eric Knudsen), to life in the full-length feature Slender Man Movie. Dubbed simply “Slender Man”, the title looks to make a few nods to other films in the genre. Fans looking to get a peek at the film can check out the new trailer, courtesy of IGN, below:

The trailer above details what appears to be the case of a missing girl. As the video progresses, however, it quickly becomes apparent that something dark and sinister is roiling beneath the surface. From its dark and muted tones, creepy imagery, and abrupt violence; the Slender Man movie looks to be aiming to hit all the usual notes.

Director Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard) is in charge of the Slender Man movie, a film whose synopsis on IMDb states that this mysterious monster is haunting children and making them disappear. The Slender Man movie is expected to hit theaters this May but may find itself shadowed by the anniversary of an incident in which two children attacked a friend in the woods, claiming that Slender Man made them do it. Whether or not this will affect the film remains to be seen, but fans and horror buffs alike will surely find out when the Slender Man movie releases.
