As the new trailer exemplify , Slender Manrevolves around a group of gamy schooltime girls from a small Massachusetts town who perform a ritual meant to summon Slender Man , in an effort to uncover the truth about the animate being behind the myth . do it to say , they get more than they dicker for and must crusade to stay live when the unnaturally magniloquent and slight human body comes calling for them . For more on that , keep an eye on Sony ’s newSlender Mantrailer in the space above .
TheSlender Mancast includes Joey King ( The Conjuring ) , Jaz Sinclair ( Paper Towns ) , Annalisa Basso ( Ouija : Origin of Evil ) , and Julia Goldani Telles ( The Affair ) , all of whom play unlucky teens who cross paths with the eponymous monstrosity in the film . As for the Slender Man himself , he ’s play by Javier Botet , whose many other creep - tastic roles include the Crooked Man inThe invocation 2 , the Leper inIT , and ( most recently ) Keyface inInsidious : The Last Key . As one would carry , Botet as Slender Man only makes brief appearance in the second house trailer , with just his hands being seeable in the clearest nip here .
WhiletheSlender Mantrailersaren’t lacking when it come to unnerving imagery , they also advise the actual film bank heavy on repugnance movie commonplace , as far as the plot and characters go . likewise , the modish trailer includes a act of moments that seem rather derivative of more notorious consequence from landmark repugnance title likeThe RingandEvil Dead , albeit irrigate down and less effective . luckily , shouldSlender Manprove to be a flop , there are more promising revulsion movies on the skyline ( likeHalloweenandThe Nun ) that should allow the literary genre to close out 2018 on a strong line .
