Critic Reviews of "Beware the Slenderman"
The AtlanticFebruary 04, 2017While Beware the Slenderman isn't an easy watch-and will undoubtedly inspire anxiety and panic in some viewers, particularly parents-it's a worthy one that helps make sense of a senseless crime.
Toronto StarJanuary 31, 2017Harnessing the simplicity and reach of the Internet is an appropriate technique for this doc, because it's about just that. But using Skype is also a genius tip for any doc maker on a budget. Which is every doc maker.
New York ObserverJanuary 24, 2017With no artist in play, it becomes clear how fallacious it is to pin the blame on artists for the actions of disturbed individuals who consumed their art at all.
RogerEbert.comJuly 27, 2016Brodsky's film has multiple goals, and might have been better served by a docu-series like Netflix's Making a Murderer, given how much it attempts to tackle.
VarietyMay 27, 2016Irene Taylor Brodsky's documentary is mostly a straightforward, inevitably engrossing true-crime tale.
JunkeeMarch 01, 2017Despite the terrifying and gruesome subject matter, Beware the Slenderman is a documentary that fails to spook or even chill.
MediumFebruary 16, 2017One of the latest great true-crime works out of the HBO Documentary lab...
NerdistFebruary 01, 2017Emotionally unstable kids can do some terrible things, especially when provoked by terrifying ideas, but hopefully frank, honest films like Beware the Slenderman will help make us all a little more attentive to these things in the future.
The Daily BeastJanuary 27, 2017What emerges is a portrait of the internet as the birthplace of contemporary folklore -- a virtual campfire in which disparate users come together to channel, and distill, their fears, anxieties, and dreams into fanciful tales, à la the Brothers Grimm.
VoxJanuary 27, 2017Beware the Slenderman... goes deeper than a typical true crime doc in fascinating ways.
ViceJanuary 25, 2017What's notable about Beware the Slenderman is that it doesn't turn into exploitative, sensational fare, instead presenting the facts in such a calm, simplistic way that the end result mirrors a chilling horror film.
Cinema CrazedJanuary 24, 2017A stark, depressing, and compelling look at the horrendous nature of mental illness and the influence pop culture has over the masses.
